Hi
we have a HOST ubuntu machine running VMPlayer and vmware-vmx was eating CPU to 100% or almost 400% ( with 4 CPU configured )
After several "google searches" i seem to have found the issue is this thread:
https://communities.vmware.com/thread/499790?start=30&tstart=0
Just run this on terminal and the rebot host UBUNTU
vblank_mode=0 /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmplayer
This not WORK!!!!
SOLVED:
edit the file rc.local and add the lines below....
sudo vi /etc/rc.local
if test -f /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled; then
echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
fi
if test -f /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag; then
echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag
fi
exit 0
