The only time when granted pages need to be treated specially is when using Xen''s PTE modification for grant mappings owned by another domain. Otherwise, the area does not require VM_DONTCOPY and VM_PFNMAP, since it can be accessed just like any other page of RAM.

copy_to_user() returns the amount of data remaining to be copied. We want to return a negative error code here. The upper layers just call WARN_ON() if we return non-zero so this doesn't change the behavior. But returning -EFAULT is still cleaner.

I''m having problems starting more than three domains. It sometimes works fine, but more often than not the 4th domain''s root block device times out and so the domU kernel panics as there''s no /dev/root: XENBUS: Timeout connecting to device: device/vbd/2057 (state 6) XENBUS: Timeout connecting to device: device/vif/0 (state 6) XENBUS: Timeout connecting to device:

Add an highmem parameter to alloc_xenballooned_pages, to allow callers to request lowmem or highmem pages.

Legacy (non-pvops) gntdev drivers may require this operation to be performed when the number of grants intended to be used simultaneously exceeds a certain driver specific default limit, and qemu''s qdisk driver is an example of needing to do so.

Hi All, The interface manual says - grant tables provide a generic mechanism sharing between domains. Subsequent lines suggest mechanism sharing between only unpriviliged domains. Can grant tables be used for this capability based shared memory communication between dom0 and domUs?

Hi, Header says: /* * Unmaps the @count pages starting at @start_address, which were mapped by a * call to xc_gntshr_share_*.

Hi Keir: These two patches remove the need for netloop by performing the copying in netback and only if it is necessary. The rationale is that most packets will be processed without delay allowing them to be freed without copying at all. So instead of copying every packet destined to dom0 we''ll only copy those that linger longer than a specified amount of time (currently 0.5s). As it
