Hi, in a cluster of 4 nodes, most of them with more than 6 cores in each processor the cpu usage is very high, and the process that forces the cpu is KVM, is there any bug?

the few virtual machines have at most 4 cores.

for example this vm has one core assigned and the hypervisor has 100% of the cpu used, I think this is a bug in qemu.

I don't have sendmail installed, if I kill that service only 30% of the processor is consuming kvm, I have all my nodes with subscription, any idea?
