Hey folks, I'd like to get a .deb of the unmodified_drivers put together. I just filed ITP, and I would love to have your help with it. http://wp.colliertech.org/cj/?p=653 I've never built a kernel package before, nor have I used DKMS, so it's going to be a bumpy ride for me. Do any of you have experience with these tools? Have you built the u...

I am enclosing the patch I have been working on. I have tested this on sles9 (2.6.5) and RHEL 4 (2.6.9). The patch applies cleanly on ChangeSet 11635. This patch was cleaned up based on Ian''s and DOI''s work. Signed-off-by: K. Y.

make balloon driver not return pages which are in [xen_start_info->nr_pages, max_pfn] on ia64. On ia64 memory might be assigned sparsely. In that case xen_start_info->nr_pages and max_pfn doesn''t match while pages which are in [xen_start_info->nr_pages, max_pfn] are used. -- yamahata _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list

Hi Keir: [PV-on-HVM]: Add missing includes This patch adds missing includes that currently work through indirect inclusions.

Hi all, I was wondering if cpu frequency scaling in dom0 (using the cpufreq=dom0-kernel boot parameter) may cause problems with HVM domUs? This is on Xen 3.2.1. PV domUs seem to work just fine. They adjust to the frequency change on the go. The HVM I run using the unmodified_driver drivers (also from the 3.2.1 release) seem to have very slow timers if dom0 lowers the frequency.

Hi, I''m doing some test on a network 10 gb nics and xen with version 3.1 i''m measuring 2.5 gb/sec from domU to an external physical machine with iperf. switching to 3.2 has reduced the measured performance to 40-50 Mb/sec. did anything change in the network interface? can someone help me? thanks _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list

hello, I know this not quite a xen problem but im sure a fair number of people are using debian for their dom0 and maybe have some insight into this. I have a large number of dom0''s running squeeze and for a long time i was hoping for pvhvm to make into the official debian xen packages and recently during some periodic updates I noticed pvhvm working after a kernel package update. Now

Hi all, I have a rhel 5.1 xen server with two rhel 3 ES hvm guests installed. Both rhel3 guests use an internal xen bridge (xenbr1) which it isn''t binded to any physical interface host. On this bridge throughput it is very very poor, only 2.5 Mbs. How can I increase this throughput??? Many thanks. -- CL Martinez carlopmart {at} gmail {d0t} com

Hi, Here is the refreshed version of the multi-page ring patch for blkfront and blkback. I currently don''t have time to refresh the blktap part of the patch. The patch should apply cleanly to the following changeset in the linux 2.6.18 tree: changeset: 752:0b859c9516ba tag: qparent parent: 751:6591b4869889 parent: 748:5012c470f875 user: Keir Fraser

...d ask the mailing list the following small doubts. I noticed that following directories are there in my xen-3.0.3_0-src directories. 1. linux-2.6.-xen-sparse 2. pristine-linux-2.6.16.29 3. linux-2.6.16.29-xen 4. ref-linux-2.6.16.29 5. linux-2.6.16.29-xen0 6. linux-2.6.16.29-xenU 7. xen 8. unmodified_drivers only these directories look like holding the source. As it looks from the directories i assumed that the xen dom0 patched code must be residing in the linux-2.6.16.29-xen0 directory and that of patched xen domU in linux-2.6.16.29-xen0. Am i right? or i am missing something? What exactly does t...

Is there anyway to get gigabit networking for a fully virtualized guest? I''ve tried searching for this one, but all I get are results about gigabit networking for the host / dom0, nothing for domU.

Hello, http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenBusDriver?highlight=%28xenbus%29 says that "XenBus provides a bus abstraction for paravirtualized drivers to communicate between domains. In practice, the bus is used for configuration negotiation, leaving most data transfer to be done via page flipping." What is the equivalent mechanism for fully-virtualized drivers in Xen (HVM running

...HVM kernel and HVM VBD driver firstly. I did following ways (It is okay in xen unstable changeset 11440): 1. Download and build 2.6.16 Linux kernel as HVM new kernel. (If you HVM guest is UP, you need do extra config. The build process can be operated in Xen0) 2. Find you Xen0 source. Go to folder unmodified_drivers/linux-2.6 . Follow README to build out 4 HVM VBD drivers. 3. Install new kernel (step 1) in HVM and copy 4 VBD drivers to HVM. 4. Create HVM with the former config and the new kernel. 5. After HVM is up, follow ''step 2'' README to load VBD drivers one by one. 6. If everything i...

...ry of HVM guest, Qemu should unmap the related physical memory range of HVM guest so that when HVM balloon driver increases the reserved machine memory of HVM guest later, Qemu can map and access the physical memory of HVM guest correctly. The patch exports a function invalidate_qemu_mapcache() in unmodified_drivers/linux-2.6/platform-pci/platform-pci.c, so HVM balloon driver can use it directly. Note: considering IA32 guest may run on both IA32 host and IA32E host, the size of the memory block HVM balloon driver wants to release MUST be 1M bytes and the address of the memory block MUST be 1M-byte boundary al...
