Hello list, I just got this ominous bug on my machine, that has already been seen several times: http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2006-01/msg00180.html The machine is very similar, it''s a machine with two dual-core opterons, running one of the latest xen-3.0.3-unstable (20060926 hypervisor, and a vanilla 2.6.18 + xen patch from Fedora from 20060915). This machine was

This patch is a significant performance improvement for the m2p_override: about 6% using the gntdev device. Each m2p_add/remove_override call issues a MULTI_grant_table_op and a __flush_tlb_single if kmap_op != NULL. Batching all the calls together is a great performance benefit because it means issuing one hypercall total rather than two hypercall per page. If paravirt_lazy_mode is set
