Greetings all. Some small question regarding schedule poll operation hypercall. 1. struct sched_poll poll.timeout is measured in what unit of time? Secs, ms? ns? 2. After issuing the hypercall_sched_op(SCHEDOP_poll, &poll); if no timeout is used in poll struct how long will I yield the CPU? 3. If I issue the hypercall and the event never comes is it possible to to yield the CPU for ever?

I''ve been having a look through scsifront again, and I saw this bit: ring_req->timeout_per_command = (sc->timeout_per_command / HZ); ring_req->nr_segments = 0; spin_unlock_irq(host->host_lock); scsifront_do_request(info); wait_event_interruptible(info->shadow[ring_req->rqid].wq_reset, info->shadow[ring_req->rqid].wait_reset); in

Dear list, This is the V4 of the trim support for xen-blkfront/blkback, Now we move BLKIF_OP_TRIM to BLKIF_OP_DISCARD, and dropped all "trim" stuffs in the patches, and use "discard" instead. Also we updated the helpers of blkif_x86_{32|64}_request or we will meet problems using a non-native protocol. And this patch has been tested with both SSD and raw file, with SSD we will

We already have the frame (pfn of the grant page) stored inside struct grant, so there's no need to keep an aditional list of mapped frames for a specific request. This reduces memory usage in blkfront.

This patch implements persistent grants for the xen-blk{front,back} mechanism. The effect of this change is to reduce the number of unmap operations performed, since they cause a (costly) TLB shootdown. This allows the I/O performance to scale better when a large number of VMs are performing I/O. Previously, the blkfront driver was supplied a bvec[] from the request queue. This was granted to

What are the possible cases (I hope there are not many:)) that this Hypercall might fail, HYPERVISOR_event_channel_op(EVTCHNOP_send, &op)???,With an error value of "-ENOSYS (-38)" on a "HVM"?

I''m having trouble switching into user mode with my domU kernel -- everytime I call __HYPERVISOR_iret, the hypervisor calls into my kernel via the registered callback handler. None of the bits in the event channel pending arrays are set. If I return via the iret call, the hypervisor immediately calls back into the handler. The user RIP never changes, so it is clearly not making forward

The following is a revised patch series to add support for a VM generation ID virtual device for HVM guests. The basic requirements of this device are as follows: - It must be exposed somewhere in ACPI namespace with a _CID of "VM_Gen_Counter". - It must also include a _DDN of "VM_Gen_Counter". - It must contain a _HID object but no particular value is required. - It must

Hello, We are going to buy some NFS storage for 6-8 VMs on a single host, but want to expand to a second host. What storage recommendations would you give if you have between 2000 and 5000 USD? How about nexenta? what hardware would you use? any vendor? Experiences with openfiler and opennas? Thanks for the responses. Daniel -- +-=====---------------------------+ |

Hi i have a small problems on one of my interface : i can''t get traffic out and don''t know why. Ither user say me that i can use Shorewall for create the counter and after get the information for mrtg. Anyone know what is the process into shorewall 2.0.X ? i don''t want monitor by specified port, but all ports Thanks for your help

Hello, I am tryiong to set up a Dom0, right now my problem is creating the first guest.

Hi, when user create the virtual machine, then: which code execute firstly, hvmloaer or qemu-dm?I have traced the codes flow and found qemu-dm run before hvmloader,right? And virtual bios code are both in hvmloader and qemu-dm, but I think it should be only one of virtual bios will be used to initialize the virutal device in qemu-dm.I find at the end of hvmloader it will jmp to 0xffff0, that

This patch series implements the Linux Xen guest in terms of the paravirt-ops interface. The features in implemented this patch series are: * domU only * UP only (most code is SMP-safe, but there's no way to create a new vcpu) * writable pagetables, with late pinning/early unpinning (no shadow pagetable support) * supports both PAE and non-PAE modes * xen console * virtual block

Hallo, "never change a running system" ... For some months I run btrfs unter kernel 3.2.5 and 3.2.9, without problems. Yesterday I compiled kernel 3.3.4, and this morning I started the machine with this kernel. There may be some ugly problems. Copying something into the btrfs "directory" worked well for some files, and then I got error messages (I''ve not

When I submitted the qcow2 patch for blktap, suggestions came up that the qemu block drivers should be used also for blktap to eliminate the current code duplication in ioemu and blktap. The attached patch adds support for a tap:ioemu pseudo driver. Devices using this driver won''t use tapdisk (containing the code duplication) any more, but will connect to the qemu-dm of the domain. In

This patch adds support for printing messages through a debug console. QEMU, for example, supports this through the debugcon facility. The benefit is that it's *much* faster than printing over a serial port. To print to I/O port 0x402 (the default used by SeaBIOS and OVMF), add "-DDEBUG_IO_PORT=0x402 -DCORE_DEBUG=1" to the build CFLAGS. To enable a debug console in QEMU that
