This patch series restores the use of superpages when restoring or migrating a VM, while retaining efficient batching of 4k pages when superpages are not appropriate or available.

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

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

Hi,Olaf, I have some questions about event channel in Xenpaging to ask you. 1) In xenpaging it uses Inter-Domainain Commnication (IDC) between dom0 and domU to build bidirectional connection,but I found there is only an event channel notification from xen to dom0 when page faults happens.It seems that xenpaging_resume_page()->xc_evtchn_notify() doesn''t make any difference.So why

Populate-on-demand: Check pages being returned by the balloon driver This patch series is the second result of my work last summer on decreasing fragmentation of superpages in a guests'' p2m when using populate-on-demand. This patch series is against 4.1; I''m posting it to get feedback on the viability of getting a ported version of this patch into 4.2. As with the previous

From: Zhang Xiantao <xiantao.zhang@intel.com> With virtual EPT support, L1 hyerpvisor can use EPT hardware for L2 guest''s memory virtualization. In this way, L2 guest''s performance can be improved sharply. According to our testing, some benchmarks can show > 5x performance gain.

I ran a bisect to find out when Windows XP 32 bit becomes unusably slow. And I found the changeset that caused it. ========== The problem: ========== Windows 8 64 bit and 32 bit run fast and fine in the newest xen versions. Windows XP 32 bit runs unusably slow in anything new that I built from xen-unstable, but runs fast in 4.1.2 and 4.1.3 stable. While it is running slow, "xm top" or

I've just ported a largeish procmail script across to sieve and want to get to use wildcards in filing mail and can't seem to get regex to work.

Hi, Olaf we have tested the xenpaging feature and found some problems. (1) the test case like this : when we start a VM with POD enable, the xenpaging is started at the same time. this case will cause many problems ,finally, we fixed the BUG, the patch is attached below. (2) there is a very serious problem. we have observed many VM crash examples, the error code is not always the same.

The merge of PAE support introduced the intpte_t type and PRIpte format specifier. Most of the shadow mode code was fixed, but debugging printks were not; this broke the compile if shadow mode debugging was enabled. The attached patch should fix the problem. Not tested with PAE enabled, but it shouldn''t make anything worse than it already is. Signed-off-by: Michael Vrable

While working on a database scaling problem using a SAP database test suite we discovered that these enterprise level large shared memory databases are very heavy users of mprotect(), to the extent that the performance overhead in current Xenolinux impacts scaling beyond a few cpus quite badly. A single cpu run under Xen has a nominal impact, but scaling out to 8 cpus results in a performance of

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.

Folks -- One more time with the PAE request, this time I''ve brought up the Linux kernel w/ a very recent version of Xen. (Just yesterday I pulled and updated my hg tree.) I still can''t set breakpoints within the guest domain: # gdb vmlinux GNU gdb 6.4-debian <...> (gdb) target remote roti.lab.netapp.com:9999 Remote debugging using roti.lab.netapp.com:9999 [New

Just found this patch in house which I thought sent out already. :-) Still one thing remaining is to special case for UP guest which suffers overhead from this change... ---- Remove lock on first guest table walk Existing shadow fault path grabs big lock before walking guest tables, to ensure consistency with shadow content lest concurrent change from other vcpu in a bad OS. But this lock
