similar to: Need help with fixing the Xen waitqueue feature

I am currently looking at a bug report[1] which is happening when a Xen PVM guest with multiple VCPUs is running a high IO database load (a test script is available in the bug report). In experimenting it seems that this happens (or is getting more likely) when the number of VCPUs is 8 or higher (though I have not tried 6, only 2 and 4), having autogroup enabled seems to make it more likely, too

Hello, I''m trying to get PDB working in accordance with the instructions at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~sos22/replay.bk/docs/misc/XenDebugger-HOWTO and a message from this list: http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2004-08/msg00017.html When I try to build pdb I first get errors because the Makefile is configured to treat warnings as errors, and there are some warnings.

The following two patches allow the parallel use of memsharing, xenpaging and xen-access by using an independent ring buffer for each feature. Please review. v2: - update mem_event_check_ring arguments, check domain rather than domain_id - check ring_full first because its value was just evaluated - check if ring buffer is initialized before calling mem_access_domctl/mem_paging_domctl

Patrick, there following patches fix xenpaging for me. Granttable handling is incomplete.

There has been some progress, but still no joy. Definitely not intended for inclusion at this point. Tim, Wei, I added a Xen command line toggle to disable IOMMU and P2M table sharing. Tim, I verified that changes to p2m-pt.c don''t break shadow mode (64bit hypervisor and Win 7 guest). Hongkaixing, I incorporated your suggestion in patch 2, so I should add your Signed-off-by eventually.

In testing our implementation of the hypervisor copy based backend- >frontend networking changes, we see what I believe are spurious warning messages during the shutdown of the frontend domain: (XEN) /export/build/schuster/xvm-gate/xen.hg/xen/include/asm/mm.h: 189:d0 Error pfn 30e290: rd=ffff830000fcf100, od=ffff830000fcf100, caf=00000000, taf=0000000000000000 (XEN) Xen call trace:

mkinitrd relies on /sys/class/scsi_host/*/proc_name instead of /sys/block/sd*/device/../../../moalias to get the scsi driver module name. As a fallback the sysfs driver name could be used, which does not match the module name either ('storvsc' vs. 'hv_storvsc').
