Hello! I''m working on a guest OS port which uses NetBSD drivers, and I''m currently working on the netfront support. I''m basing the driver on the FreeBSD 7.0 driver, and I''ve run into a problem in network_alloc_rx_buffers. Parts of the code with line numbers is given below, and I''ll try to explain where the problem occurs. The basic problem is that the hypercall on line 112 below fails because Xen is handed the page number -1. 1 static void 2 network_alloc_rx_buffers(struct netfront_info *sc) 3 {...

...migration I call this: void network_resume(void) { struct net_device* dev = __dev_get_by_name("eth0"); MOD_DEC_USE_COUNT; network_open(dev); } -- which works fine. However, in network_open() the call to NETOP_RESET_RINGS seems to clear all the pointers to the old skbs, and network_alloc_rx_buffers() allocs a bunch of new ones. It suppose that means I have just leaked a whole bunch of skbs. I know the standard suspend/resume code performs almost a full ifup/ifdown (which I cannot do in my case) but I don''t see any skb-freeing code in that case either? I have tried dev_kfree_skb()...

Some users are hitting this panic in network_alloc_rx_buffers() when running a big network intensive app: /* Check return status of HYPERVISOR_dom_mem_op(). */ if ( rx_mcl[nr_pfns].args[5] != nr_pfns ) panic("Unable to reduce memory reservation\n"); I''m not clear on what is happening here. Are the domains changing size? W...

Hi Andi, This series of patches implements the Xen paravirt-ops interface. It applies to 2.6.21-rc7 + your patches + the last batch of pv_ops patches I posted. This patch generally restricts itself to Xen-specific parts of the tree, though it does make a few small changes elsewhere. These patches include: - some helper routines for allocating address space and walking pagetables - Xen

Hi Andi, This patch series implements the Linux Xen guest as a paravirt_ops backend. The features in implemented this patch series are: * domU only * UP only (most code is SMP-safe, but there's no way to create a new vcpu) * writable pagetables, with late pinning/early unpinning (no shadow pagetable support) * supports both PAE and non-PAE modes * xen hvc console (console=hvc0) *
