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

This is a patch to forward-port a Xend behaviour. Xend writes IO ABI used for all frontends. Blkfront before 2.6.26 relies on this behaviour otherwise guest cannot boot when running in 32-on-64 mode. Blkfront after 2.6.26 writes that node itself, in which case it''s just an overwrite to an existing node which should be OK. In fact Xend writes the ABI for all frontends including console

ging_prep ensures that an mfn is backing the paged-out gfn, and transitions to the next state in the paging state machine for this page. Foreign mappings of the gfn will now succeed. This is the key idea, as it allows the pager to now map the gfn and fill in its contents. Unfortunately, it also allows any other foreign mapper to map the gfn and read its contents. This is particularly dangerous

Hi, All Intel QA conducted a full validation for xen 4.1 rc1, it includes VT-x, VT-d, SRIOV, RAS, TXT and xl tools testing. 24 issues were exposed. Refer the bug list, please. We already assigned 14 bugs to Intel developers (which has an ''Intel'' tag in the bug title), most of the rest 10 bugs are related xl command. For the these bugs, need community''s help to fix

While doing migration, sometimes found suspend lock file was not unlinked in previous operations, then there is an obsolete lock file in place, which causes the current and later migration cannot get lock. That happens seldomly but do happen. After checking the source code, I found there are some places that potentially cause lock file unlinked, including: 1) in lock_suspend_event() function,

hi, my friends: Currently, i am studying the way of hypercall's implementation. i have already known the flow of hypercall's execuation, and i decided to add a new hypercall into the Xen. first, i want to know the detail of one hypercall function, for example, "do_xen_version", but i can not find the location of definition of "do_xen_version". who can help me? i have

Hello xen-devel, I am using xen 4.2.1 and have tried the following with kernel 3.0.0 and 3.2.1. I am trying to invoke the HVMOP_flush_tlbs hypercall but have been unsuccessful. I am basing my call on the functions in in xc_misc.c, trying to guess what is meant by "@arg must be null" in the comment where HVMOP_flush_tlbs is defined. What is the correct way to invoke this

libxl__domain_build_info_setdefault may be called several times, so rtc_timeoffset can''t be setted in it. Move rtc_timeoffset setting logic to libxl__build_pre.

Hello there, We (a small hosting community) are running a steadily growing number of Xen domUs on a quad dualcore Xeon server with 64GB ram. We''ve got 100 running domUs at the moment. Trying to create a new one results in this error: Error: (1, ''Internal error'', ''launch_vm: SETVCPUCONTEXT failed (rc=-1)\n'') If I shut down another domain, I can

I''ve addressed all (I think/hope) of the review comments. The main change is to expose the guest virtual platform (e.g. memory layout and interrupt usage etc) to the toolstack via the public interface. This is then used during FDT generation. I have just codified the current defacto standard layout, it''s probably not the best layout but any change can be a separate patch/series.

The following two patches are about how to speed up in xenpaging when page in pages. On suse11-64 with 4G memory,if we page out 2G pages,it will cost about 15.5 seconds, but take 2088 seconds to finish paging in.If page-in costs too much time,it will cause unmesurable problems when vm or dom0 access the paged_out page,such as BSOD,crash. What鈥檚 more,the dom0 is always in high I/O pressure.

Biggest change is to switch the new DTB node to /xen-core-devices instead of /xen at Stefano''s request. I also dropped the few patches title HACK etc which weren''t supposed to be there and fixed up some bits and pieces which folks commented on. George, WRT the freeze I think this is functionality which we cannot ship Xen 4.4 without. The impact is entirely constrained to the

Changes from v3: - mini-os configuration files moved into stubdom/ - mini-os extra console support now a config option - Fewer #ifdefs - grant table setup uses hypercall bounce - Xenstore stub domain syslog support re-enabled Changes from v2: - configuration support added to mini-os build system - add mini-os support for conditionally compiling frontends, xenbus -

This is patch 2of2 of an eighth cut of the patch of the proposed XENMEM_claim_pages hypercall/subop, taking into account feedback from Jan and Keir and IanC and Matthew Daley. As requested by Jan, this is a separate post of the tools part of the patch. NOTE: This patch must be applied after the hypervisor part of the patchset or otherwise may break the build! v5->v8: - no change in this

This patch series is a reworking of a series developed by Mukesh Rathor at Oracle. The entirety of the design and development was done by him; I have only reworked, reorganized, and simplified things in a way that I think makes more sense. The vast majority of the credit for this effort therefore goes to him. This version is labelled v13 because it is based on his most recent series, v11.

XEN_DOMCTL_destroydomain hypercall frees domain resources, especially it frees all pages of the domain. When domain memory is very large, it takes too long resulting in

xc_interface_close() crashes if it gets NULL as an argument. However, it just calls xc_interface_close_common() which is called by many others functions. It means that they are also vulnerable. So fix above mentioned issue by adding NULL check in xc_interface_close_common(). This way we fix similar issue in other functions which calls xc_interface_close_common() too.

Please CC as I''m not subscribed to valgrind-developers. Under Xen the toolstack is responsible for managing the domains in the system, e.g. creating, destroying, and otherwise manipulating them. To do this it uses a number of ioctls on the /proc/xen/privcmd device. Most of these (the MMAPBATCH ones) simply set things up such that a subsequenct mmap call will map the desired guest
