Hi All, I have several questions about log dirty mode during live migration. For my understanding, each time after XEN_DOMCTL_SHADOW_OP_CLEAN or XEN_DOMCTL_SHADOW_OP_PEEK operation, all the pages are set as read only. The following memory accesses to the memory pages will cause page fault (permission conflict) then using page_mark_dirty function to set the dirty bitmap. However, after I read

The patch deals with the situation which guest OS uses unused page table pages as data pages and write data to them. The pages will still be grabbed by Xen as page table pages, and lots of unnecessary page faults occur. The patch will check if the data guest writes to the page table contains valid mfn or not, if not, we believe it is a data page now and then unshadow the page. The patch

This patch series includes a series of bugs related to p2m, ept, and PoD code which were found as part of our XenServer product testing. Each of these fixes actual bugs, and the 3.4-based version of the patch has been tested thoroughly. (There may be bugs in porting the patches, but most of them are simple enough as to make it unlikely.) Each patch is conceptually independent, so they can each

Hello everyone, this is the fourth version of the patch series that introduces ARMv7 with virtualization extensions support in Xen. The series allows Xen and Dom0 to boot on a Cortex-A15 based Versatile Express simulator. See the following announce email for more informations about what we are trying to achieve, as well as the original git history: See
