similar to: [PATCH] Avoid panic when adjusting sedf parameters

Prevent xl from doing any operation if xend daemon is running. That prevents bugs that happened when xl and xend raced to close a domain. Changes since v1: * Add documentation to xl man page. * Permit the execution of commands that don''t modify anything. * Indent error message.

Hi, I am using Xen 4.2.3 installed on an Intel Atom with a Debian Dom0 and 3 Debian domU''s installed. I am trying to run some benchmarks using the Arinc653 scheduler. I have edited my grub options to boot with ''maxcpus=1 sched=arinc653'' options. I can boot the dom0 and verify that the scheduler is enabled. However when I xl create, the VM is created but I cannot

Hi, I''ve installed xen-unstable 4.2 from actual git (last commit was 4dc7dbef5400f0608321d579aebb57f933e8f707). When I start a domU with xm all is fine include the cpu_weight I configured in my domU config. When I start the domU with xl then all my domU have the default cpu_weight of 256 instead of the configured one. Was the name of cpu_weight being changed for xl command ? My domU

This patch -Displays[1] current parameters for running domains ala xm list -Allow users to set[2] one or more parameters[3] without having to provide values for parameters they do not wish to change -Adds additional testing of sched-sedf via new xm-test testcases. With this patch applied, test 02_sedf_period_lower_neg.py exposes a bug[4]. I''ll follow up this email with a patch for

Hi, I sent the following e-mail to kexec-mailing list (kexec@lists.infradead.org) since subjects of makedumpfile are discussed on the mailing list. I want to inform this to xen developers since I think this function is useful for xen developers. Thanks. Itsuro Oda (see https://sourceforge.net/projects/makedumpfile/ about makedumpfile command.)

sched_sedf.c used o have its own mechanism for producing tracing-alike kind of information (domain block, wakeup, etc.). Nowadays, with an even not so high number of pCPUs/vCPUs, just trying to enable this makes the serial console completely unusable, produces tons of very hard to parse and interpreet logging and can easily livelock Dom0. Moreover, pretty much the same result this is struggling to

Hi, the implementation of xl cpupool-numa-split is broken. It basically deals with only one poolid, but there are two to consider: the one from the original root CPUpool, the other from the newly created one. On my machine the current output looks like: root@dosorca:/data/images# xl cpupool-numa-split libxl: error: libxl.c:2803:libxl_create_cpupool Could not create cpupool error on creating

a, libxl_event.h is included in libxl.h. So, the former one also need to be installed. b, define __XEN_TOOLS__ in libxl.h: the head file "xen/sysctl.h" need check this macro.

Hi all, I need a periodic timer running at ideally at 125 microseconds and at least 500 microseconds. I''ve just found the VCPUOP_set_periodic_timer, however there is a comment saying "periods less than one millisecond may not be supported". I will be running on an x64 machine. Is this supported? If not, is there any alternate means of generating a fast interrupt? Regards.

Since the key information can be fairly simply put on the command-line, there''s no need to require an actual config file. Also improve the help to cross-reference the xlcpupool.cfg manpage.

Hi, although advertised via the usage output, xl cpupool-list -l just returns ERROR_NI, which does not show up on the console. Instead the output is empty, which is not exactly what --long hints to. To avoid confusion remove the line from the help output and just ignore the -l option properly until it gets finally implemented. Signed-off-by: Andre Przywara <andre.przywara@amd.com>

When in SYS_STATE_suspend, and going through the cpu_disable_scheduler path, save a copy of the current cpu affinity, and mark a flag to restore it later. Later, in the resume process, when enabling nonboot cpus restore these affinities. v2: Fix formatting problems. remove early return in cpu_disable_scheduler() path. v3: Fix remaining errant tab Move restore_vcpu_affinity() to thaw_domains(),

in _csched_cpu_pick(), as not doing so may result in the domain''s node-affinity mask (as retrieved by csched_balance_cpumask() ) and online mask (as retrieved by cpupool_scheduler_cpumask() ) having an empty intersection. Therefore, when attempting a node-affinity load balancing step and running this: ... /* Pick an online CPU from the proper affinity mask */

Hi All it is possible to tune dom0/domU for better IO/network performance? Since I have changed to Cenots7 dom0, I have a really poor IO performance inside a PV VM. I have already done what is described on http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Tuning_Xen_for_Performance It is better now but still significantly worse than with centos6 dom0 my settings: xen parameter: dom0_mem=1024M cpufreq=xen

Here are some small format changes in xm.1 to make sedf more readable, should start getting to the device section proper today. -Sean -- __________________________________________________________________ Sean Dague Mid-Hudson Valley sean at dague dot net Linux Users Group http://dague.net
