...p, cpu, NULL)) { current->state = TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE; schedule_timeout(HZ/10); } the critical difference is that play_dead in arch/i386/process-xen.c and arch/x86_64/process-xen.c differ. the i386 version makes a VCPUOP_down call to the hypervisor while the x86_64 version schedules a SCHEDOP_yield among other things. plopping the i386 version (patch below) into x86_64/process-xen.c makes hotplugging in x86_64 behavior like i386. does anyone know why the x86_64 play_dead function is in the current state? thanks, ryan Signed-off-by: Ryan Grimm <grimm@us.ibm.com> diff -r 974ed9f736...

This is my current set of updates to Xen for 2.6.24. This is largely a bugfix set, and a couple of them are also relevent to 2.6.23. These are in the pre-x86 merge form; I'll update them once the merge goes into git. Quick overview: - remove some dead code in arch/i386/mm/init.c - clean up some duplicate includes - when sending an IPI, yield the vcpu if the destination doesn't have

Hi all I''m hacking on a netback trying to identify whether TLB flushes causes heavy performance penalty on Tx path. The hack is quite nasty (you would not want to know, trust me). Basically what is doesn''t is, 1) alter network protocol to pass along mfns instead of grant references, 2) when the backend sees a new mfn, map it RO and cache it in its own address space. With this

Some hardware (e.g. Dell Studio laptops) require special functions to be called on physical cpu 0 in order to avoid occasional hangs. When running as dom0 under Xen this could be achieved only via special boot parameters (vcpu pinning) limiting the hypervisor in it's scheduling decisions. This patch series is adding a generic function to be able to temporarily pin a (virtual) cpu to a

Hi Linus, Here's a set of patches to update paravirt_ops and Xen for 2.6.24 A quick overview of the patchset: paravirt_ops: Remove the monolithic paravirt_ops structure, and replace it with smaller structures of related functions. Also, clean up the handling of lazy mode to make it easier to implement. x86/mm/init.c: remove a chunk of dead code Xen: - remove duplicate includes -
