with heavy VM IO, clocksource causes random dom0 reboots
...in that file begin with capital letters: GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN="com1=9600,8n1 console=com1,vga noreboot" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="console=tty0 console=hvc0" 2. Is a package necessary for pit ? 3. should clocksource = pit be set on domUs as well?

Put virbr0 in promiscusous
Hi , I have two virtual machines VM1 and VM2. Then I have added eth0 of my VM to 'default' network. Use case :- I want to monitor all traffic on virbr0('default' network). Steps followed :- 1. Add VM1 eth0 to virbr0 2. Add VM2 eth1 to virbr0 3. brctl setageing ovsbr0 0 ..(To put bridge in promiscuous) Now I am running tcpd...

cputune shares with multiple cpu and pinning
Hi, I have found the cpu time partitioning based on cpu shares weights not very intuitive. On RHEL64, I deployed two qemu/kvm VMs VM1 with 1 vcpu and 512 cpu shares VM2 with 2 vcpus and 1024 cpu shares I pinned their vcpus to specific host pcpus: VM1 vcpu 0 to host pcpu1 VM2 vcpu 0 to host pcpu1, VM2 vcpu 1 to host pcpu2 I executed inside the VMs a simple process that consume all available cpu, eg # cat /dev/zero > /dev/null on the host, using 'top...

[virtio-dev] Zerocopy VM-to-VM networking using virtio-net
...networking is an exitless I/O path. In other words, packets can be transferred between VMs without any vmexits (this requires a polling driver). Here is how it works. QEMU gets "-device vhost-user" so that a VM can act as the vhost-user server: VM1 (virtio-net guest driver) <-> VM2 (vhost-user device) VM1 has a regular virtio-net PCI device. VM2 has a vhost-user device and plays the host role instead of the normal virtio-net guest driver role. The ugly thing about this is that VM2 needs to map all of VM1's guest RAM so it can access the vrings and packet data. The sol...

Zerocopy VM-to-VM networking using virtio-net
...covered informally throughout the text, this is not a VIRTIO specification change proposal. The VM-to-VM capable virtio-net PCI adapter has an additional MMIO BAR called the Shared Buffers BAR. The Shared Buffers BAR is a shared memory region on the host so that the virtio-net devices in VM1 and VM2 both access the same region of memory. The vring is still allocated in guest RAM as usual but data buffers must be located in the Shared Buffers BAR in order to take advantage of zero-copy. When VM1 places a packet into the tx queue and the buffers are located in the Shared Buffers BAR, the host...
