I ran a bisect to find out when Windows XP 32 bit becomes unusably slow. And I found the changeset that caused it. ========== The problem: ========== Windows 8 64 bit and 32 bit run fast and fine in the newest xen versions. Windows XP 32 bit runs unusably slow in anything new that I built from xen-unstable, but runs fast in 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 stable. While it is running slow, "xm top" or

The patch ''mem_event: use wait queue when ring is full'' I just sent out makes use of the waitqueue feature. There are two issues I get with the change applied: I think I got the logic right, and in my testing vcpu->pause_count drops to zero in p2m_mem_paging_resume(). But for some reason the vcpu does not make progress after the first wakeup. In my debugging there is one
