Hi Wei, I ran into the following problem when trying to boot another guest after less than a day of uptime. (the system started 15 guests at boot already which went fine). dom0 is allocated a fixed 1536M. Both host as pv guests run the same kernel, some hvm''s run a slightly older kernel (3.9 f.e.) The are quite some granttable messages in xl dmesg, i also included these and a

Patrick, there following patches fix xenpaging for me. Granttable handling is incomplete. If a page is gone, a GNTST_eagain should be returned to the caller to inidcate the hypercall has to be retried after a while, until the page is available again. Please review.

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

Hi all, I add a blkback QoS patch. You can config(dynamic/static) different I/O speed for different VM disk by this patch. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- diff -urNp blkback/blkback.c blkback-qos/blkback.c --- blkback/blkback.c 2011-06-22 07:54:19.000000000 +0800 +++ blkback-qos/blkback.c 2011-06-22 07:53:18.000000000 +0800 @@ -44,6 +44,11 @@

This patch contains fixes for persistent grants implementation v2: * handle == 0 is a valid handle, so initialize grants in blkback setting the handle to BLKBACK_INVALID_HANDLE instead of 0. Reported by Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk. * new_map is a boolean, use "true" or "false" instead of 1 and 0. Reported by Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk. * blkfront announces the

Moving grant ref handles from blkbk to pending_req will allow us to get rid of the shared blkbk structure.

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

In blkback driver, after I/O requests are submitted to Dom-0 block I/O subsystem, blkback goes to ''sleep'' effectively without letting blkfront know about it (req_event isn''t set appropriately). Hence blkfront doesn''t notify blkback when it submits a new I/O thus delaying the ''dispatch'' of the new I/O to Dom-0 block I/O subsystem. The new I/O is

This is a cherry pick of two patches that add support for guest paged out frames in the XCP 2.6.32 dom0 patch queue. First patch propagates the ENOENT returned by the hypervisor in the case of a paged out page, all the way up the call chain to the MMAPBATCH_V2 ioctl. The ioctl is mainly used to harvest those return values and retry. The second patch adds retry loops to all backend grant

I have continous oom&panic situation unresolved. I am not sure system fills up all the ram (36GB). Why this system triggered this oom situation? Is it about some other memory? highmem? lowmem? stack size?

Dear list, I am seeing an error across multiple machines during heavy I/O, either disk or network. The VMs are on different Intel CPUs (Core 2 Quad, Core i5, Xeon) with varying boards (Abit, Asus, Supermicro). Machines that get this error are running either BackupPC, Zabbix (MySQL) or SABNZBd. I can also reproduce the error on the Supermicros with a looped wget of an ubuntu ISO as they are

Starting with 3.7 rc1, my workstation seems to loose ram. Up until (and including) 3.6, used-(buffers+cached) was roughly the same as sum(rss) (taking shared into account). Now there is an approx 6G gap. When the box first starts, it is clearly less swappy than with <= 3.6; I can''t tell whether that is related. The reduced swappiness persists. It seems to get worse when I update

Hi Konrad, In one of my domU''s to which I pci passthrough USB cards with a videograbber connected to it, the videocapture bails out after running for quite some time with the stacktrace below.
