Sometimes the UEFI memory map changes between GetMemoryMap() and ExitBootServices(), making the MapKey value incorrect. Per the UEFI spec, the memory map should then be fetched again and exiting retried.

I am a UEFI/BIOS developer. We UEFI PXE boot dozens of times per night. We have run into this error more than a couple of times. We have also done thousands of UEFI PXE boots with debug statements to prove that the patch works.

This is an update version of last version to fix the handling of polling errors in vhost/vhost_net. Currently, vhost and vhost_net ignore polling errors which can lead kernel crashing when it tries to remove itself from waitqueue after the polling failure. Fix this by checking the poll->wqh before the removing and report an error when meet polling errors. Changes from v2: - check poll->wqh

Hello all, I experienced some problems with "kinit". It had problems to determine my root device (/dev/hda3) and to create /dev/root with the appropriate major and minor device number. I don't use udev or devfs on this system so far. The patch I wrote to solve it is attached to this email. I would like to extend "kinit" a bit: * Removing the pivot_root stuff and

Move vhost.h to include/linux to allow vhost driver out-of-tree compilation. Currently, this cannot be done properly because the vhost header file is in driver/vhost. To distribute a new vhost driver before it is included in the kernel tree, we need to package it using kmod, dkms, ..., and to compile it out-of-tree using headers provided by the distribution's kernel development package.

After commit 2b8b328b61c799957a456a5a8dab8cc7dea68575 (vhost_net: handle polling errors when setting backend), we in fact track the polling state through poll->wqh, so there's no need to duplicate the work with an extra vhost_net_polling_state. So this patch removes this and make the code simpler. Signed-off-by: Jason Wang <jasowang at redhat.com> --- drivers/vhost/net.c | 60

Hi: This series tries to optimize vhost_net polling at two points: - Stop rx polling for reduicng the unnecessary wakeups during handle_rx(). - Conditonally enable tx polling for reducing the unnecessary traversing and spinlock touching. Test shows about 17% improvement on rx pps. Please review Changes from V1: - use vhost_net_disable_vq()/vhost_net_enable_vq() instead of open coding. -
