Hello, I was testing Fedora 16 (rc2) Xen host, with included Xen 4.1.1 rpms and Linux 3.1.0 dom0 kernel. Fedora 16 PV domUs seem to work nicely. I noticed a problem with Fedora 16 Xen HVM guests though. The F16 guest kernel (Linux 3.1.0) fails with the qemu-dm emulated DVD-ROM drive.. Full HVM guest kernel dmesg attached to this email. See the end of this email for Xen cfgfile for the

Hi maintainer, Reprodue an bug on xen-unstable, it''s an irq affinity issue for passthroughed msix device to uek1 pvhvm(2.6.32 stable). I passthrough two mptsas devices(0000:0d:0.0, 0000:1f:0.0) to a pvhvm, irq affinity can''t be changed. Step to reproduce is as below: 1. xl -f pci-assignable-add 0000:0d:0.0; xl -f pci-assignable-add 0000:1f:0.0 2.xm cr -c vm.cfg

This series implements ballooning for Xen on ARM and builds and Mukesh''s PVH privcmd stuff to implement foreign page mapping on ARM, replacing the old "HACK: initial (very hacky) XENMAPSPACE_gmfn_foreign" patch. The baseline is a bit complex, it is basically Stefano''s xenarm-forlinus branch (commit bbd6eb29214e) merged with Konrad''s linux-next-pvh branch

Hello, I''ve had a look at PVH support, and I have a few questions: - events are still dispatched the PV way through the callback, right? - I guess FPU errors don''t trigger an INT13, so I don''t need to handle that? - How about the console and store MFNs from the boot info? Are they still MFNs, or actually PFNs? - How about PV network in non-copy mode? It used to be

Hi Xen folks! I''ve faced with one strange thing in ARM version of Xen: when I use xc_map_foreign_bulk() to map some memory from domU to dom0, after unmap() for previous returned address - memory is not freed at all. Let''s look at call stack: xc_map_foreign() -> linux_privcmd_map_foreign_bulk() -> { addr = mmap(fd); ioctl(fd, IOCTL_PRIVCMD_MMAPBATCH_V2 );

The ARM platform has no concept of PVMMU and therefor no HYPERVISOR_update_va_mapping et al. Allow this code to be compiled out when not required. In some similar situations (e.g. P2M) we have defined dummy functions to avoid this, however I think we can/should draw the line at dummying out actual hypercalls.

This patch is a significant performance improvement for the m2p_override: about 6% using the gntdev device. Each m2p_add/remove_override call issues a MULTI_grant_table_op and a __flush_tlb_single if kmap_op != NULL. Batching all the calls together is a great performance benefit because it means issuing one hypercall total rather than two hypercall per page. If paravirt_lazy_mode is set

(This is a continuation of "[PATCH v9] xen/grant-table: Avoid m2p_override during mapping") The grant mapping API does m2p_override unnecessarily: only gntdev needs it, for blkback and future netback patches it just cause a lock contention, as those pages never go to userspace. Therefore this series does the following: - the bulk of the original function (everything after the mapping

Hi Jeremy, I backported the branch I have in linux-next plus some older PV on HVM fixes to stable-2.6.32.x. Please pull: git://xenbits.xen.org/people/sstabellini/linux-pvhvm.git stable-2.6.32-pvhvm Ian Campbell (11): xen: do not respond to unknown xenstore control requests xen: use new schedop interface for suspend xen: switch to new schedop hypercall by default. xen:

After much joy with this, I thought I post this to a bigger audience. After having migrated to Xen 4.1.1, booting HVM guests had several issues. Some related to interrupts not being set up correctly (which Stefano has posted patches) and even with those 3.0 guests seem to hang for me while 2.6.38 or older kernels were ok. After digging deeply into this, I think I found the issue. However, if that

In commit cd9151e2: xen/balloon: set a mapping for ballooned out pages we have the ballooned out page''s mapping set to a scratch page. That commit also sets the P2M entry of ballooned out page to the scratch page''s MFN. This is necessary for PV guest but not for HVM guest. On the other hand, setting the P2M entry would trigger BUG_ON in __set_phys_to_machine. The correct thing

Hi all, this patch series enables xen-swiotlb on arm and arm64. It has been heavily reworked compared to the previous versions in order to achieve better performances and to address review comments. We are not using dma_mark_clean to ensure coherency anymore. We call the platform implementation of map_page and unmap_page. We assume that dom0 has been mapped 1:1 (physical address == machine

XEN_DOM0 is a silent option that has been automatically selected when CONFIG_XEN is selected since 6b0661a5e6fbf. If this option was changed to a menu configurable option then it would only give users the ability to compile out about 100 kbytes of code. As that option makes little sense to choose, and the option isn''t menu selectable anyway, then we can clean up some code by simply

From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> get_balloon_scratch_page() disables preemption so we cannot call alloc_page() in between get/put_balloon_scratch_page(). Shuffle bits around in decrease_reservation() to avoid this.
