Folks, Here''s how I see the priorities for this week. Let''s hope we continue to make the great progress we made last week. Ian General ------- 1 Go-live with web-based regression test matrix reports 1 Make source for all tests and harness available for download (except proprietory tests like SPECjbb etc) 2 Release 3.0-testing-r1 test CD, designed for testing on a wide variety of platforms without needing to install anything on the hard disk. Web form for uploading result data. x86_32 / common --------------- known issues: 1 time fast bug / ntpdate (fixed? - please check) 1 shared irq''s fail under high load IBM 1 save/restore fails (tools issue, under investigation) Christian 1 save/restore SMP missing (simple fix) Steven Smith 1 save/restore fix for net grant tables Steven Hand 2 highmem (>900MB) optimizations (believed complete) 2 SMP and fork-exec optimizations required since 2.6.12 Keir/Ian x86_32pae --------- 1 Boot still fails on machines with >4GB - probably Linux-side bug 1 Problems booting SMP dom0 and domU (still? - please test) 3 guest ref count shadow mode for 3-level PTs 3 save/restore support for 3-level PTs x86_64 ------ 1 SMP support checked in - needs testing 2 Xserver fails to start (no access to bottom 1MB) fixed? 2 s/w iommu support (patch from Intel being integrated) 3 save/restore for 4-level Tools ----- general xm/xend 2 use SSL certs to protect https i/f Mike M ? 2 plan for authenticating reloaction Sean/Anthony xenbus/xenstore 1 checkin block switch over to XB Christian 1 switch net over to XB Rusty ? 1 switch console over XB Robert / Anthony 2 delete xcs ? 2 XB console save/restore support 2 switch USB to XB, add save/restore Other ----- 3 Vanilla 2.4 broken, needs maintainer. NB only domU support, forget dom0 _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

I''ve put this temporarily on hold whilst the codebase shifts around.

The intention is for our nightly regression test harness to generate a heavy workload in the domU (lots of forking plus network IO plus block IO), and then do a few tens of migrates to localhost. Right now the test is disabled because it doesn''t work at all : save/restore support needs to catch up with network grant tables, and the tools have rotted slightly. The plan is to have save/restore working again for 2-level PTEs by the end of the week, and then add it to the nightly tests and crucify anyone that breaks it :-) In addition, we''ll actually have to get two or more machines and bounce domains between them. The new test infrastructure makes it relatively easy to set this up. Before the new test stuff I used to just use a shell script running on a couple of hosts, which wasn''t too bad.
