Here is the proposed debdiff (actually, a git diff) for xen in jessie. My

This is a fourth cut of the hypervisor patch of the proposed XENMEM_claim_pages hypercall/subop, taking into account feedback from Jan and Keir and IanC, plus some fixes found via runtime debugging (using privcmd only) and some added comments/cleanup. [Logistical note: I will be out tomorrow (Friday) plus US holidays next week so my responsiveness to comments may be slower for awhile. --djm]

Hi, I was wondering if there is any documentation on how to write a bare metal application for Xen. I don''t need to parse the device tree and such yet, a simple booting "Hello World" would be fine :-) We wrote one and when trying to boot we get ( this was an uncompressed binary, no image): libxl: notice: libxl_numa.c:451:libxl__get_numa_candidate: NUMA placement failed,

Add tmem-* commands, did some simple tests. [PATCH 1/6]xl: Add ''xl tmem-list'' command [PATCH 2/6]xl: Add ''xl tmem-freeze'' command [PATCH 3/6]xl: Add ''xl tmem-destroy'' command [PATCH 4/6]xl: Add ''xl tmem-thaw'' command [PATCH 5/6]xl: Add ''xl tmem-set'' command [PATCH 6/6]xl: Add ''xl

Hmmm... It appears I never posted the corrected version of this patch so it never made it upstream. See: http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2011-11/msg00587.html http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2011-11/msg02145.html It would be good if this very minor fix was also applied to 4.2 (and, if possible, 4.1).

At last year''s Xen North America Summit in Boston, I gave a talk about memory overcommitment in Xen. I showed that the basic mechanisms for moving memory between domains were already present in Xen and that, with a few scripts, it was possible to roughly load-balance memory between domains. During this effort, I discovered that "ballooning" had a lot of weaknesses, even though

Hi Linux kernel folks and Xen folks -- Effective July 5, I will be resigning from Oracle and "retiring" for a minimum of 12-18 months and probably/hopefully much longer. Between now and July 5, I will be tying up loose ends related to my patches but also using up accrued vacation days. If you have a loose end you''d like to see tied, please let me know ASAP and I will do my

Hi all, this is a non comprehensive list of missing features in libxenlight and\or xl: - xen_platform_pci flag support in VM config files; - relative paths support in VM config files; - hap support in VM config files; - -c option to xl create; - remus; - trigger command; - tmem-* commands; - sched-* commands; - usb-* commands; - scsi-* commands. In general if you execute "xm

Prevent xl from doing any operation if xend daemon is running. That prevents bugs that happened when xl and xend raced to close a domain.

I noted a possible problem restoring a machine. In xc_domain_restore (xc_domain_restore.c) if it''s not the last checkpoint we set O_NONBLOCK flag (search for fcntl) that we can call pagebuf_get or just load other pages (see following "goto loadpages;" line). Now we could ending up calling xc_tmem_restore/xc_tmem_restore_extra (xc_tmem.c) which call read_extract (xc_private.c)

Hi, I have noticed that, in the code of linux/drivers/xen/balloon.c, there exists the snippet as this: static int __init balloon_init(void) { unsigned long pfn; struct page *page; if (!xen_pv_domain()) return -ENODEV; ..... } Does it means the driver will not work in HVM? If so, where is the HVN-enabled code for that? 2010-11-16 Rui Chu _______________________________________________

Hello, I''ve hit known problem with dynamic memory management - memory fragmentation... This dynamic memory management basically does xl mem-set to balance memory. After some time of running system, xen memory is so fragmented that it is impossible to start new VM with PCI device. Sometimes it crashes during boot (no 64MB contiguous memory for SWIOTLB), or later - eg. iwlagn cannot

Hello, I am running a functional Xen 4.0 platform. The objective is the project I am currently running is to replace 4 VMWare ESX by 4 Xen 4.0 hypervisors. I have been able to reproduce all the core VMWare features in Xen (but better of course =D) except memory overcommitment. I know this feature has been included since Xen 3.3 but I have found almost no information about it. When I try to

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
