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, I''m new to Xen and especially to the hypervisor code. I''m working off a 3.0.4.1 base and have the following questions regarding the memory management code for an x86, 32-bit platform (capable of supporting PAE). I''m doing some research into providing grant table hypercall support from a Windows 2003 HVM. I have made all the necessary changes to allow the

Hi, all I want to reduce the checkpoint size of a VM by memory exclusion. I try to find out all the free pages by reference count at VMM-level, As they declared that: /* Page is on a free list: ((count_info & PGC_count_mask) == 0). */ , in struct page_info which is defined in /xen/include/asm-x86/mm.h, but unfortunately, all the pages in a idle VM accords with this condition. I prints out the reference count of all memory pages, all of them are equal to or bigger than 2. Anyone can tell me the reason? and how can...

With pretty trivial user mode programs being able to crash the kernel due to the ref counter widths in Xen being more narrow than in Linux, I started an attempt to put together a kernel side fix. While addressing the plain hypercalls is pretty strait forward, dealing with multicalls (both when using them for lazy mmu mode batching and when explicitly using them in e.g. netback - the backends are

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
