Hello folks- In one particular app, it would be useful for the customers to be able to specify the significance (and presence) of fields. For example, consider a CONTACTs database. User 1 wants to have phone1, phone2, phone3, and User 2 wants to have 4 address fields. Generically, this could be done by having a CONTACT with, say, 10 strings, 10 integers, etc. The user''s account

When in SYS_STATE_suspend, and going through the cpu_disable_scheduler path, save a copy of the current cpu affinity, and mark a flag to restore it later. Later, in the resume process, when enabling nonboot cpus restore these affinities. v2: Fix formatting problems. remove early return in cpu_disable_scheduler() path. v3: Fix remaining errant tab Move restore_vcpu_affinity() to thaw_domains(),

Hi all, I am trying to run some performance tests using libvirt 1.2.17. For these tests it is necessary to set a specific affinity for the VCPUs of a running VM. The problem is, that I noticed a significant performance drop in my metrics when using 'vcpupin' from the virsh console instead of running 'taskset' natively. Specifically the methods I am comparing are 1.

Hello I am using memtester V4.0.5 on x86_64 arch (4x PROC-4GB total) and it works fine. When I want to launch it on only one CPU with the taskset cmd the machine crashes. here is the cmd i am using taskset 0x00000002 ./memester 1000 known issue ? Thanks Jean-Pierre

Hello, My testing machine has 2 quad-core CPU (It supports hyperthreading, but i disable it in BIOS). I uses Xen 4.0.1 as the hypervisor. When I use 8 VMs to conduct a test, CPU affinity of the VMs is very strange. Like this: vm_name vcpu_num cpu_affinity Domain-0 8 any VM1 4 1,3,5,7 VM2 4 1,3,5,7 VM3 4 1,3,5,7 VM4 4

Xen/MCE: vMCE injection In our test for win8 guest mce, we find a bug that no matter what SRAO/SRAR error xen inject to win8 guest, it always reboot. The root cause is, current Xen vMCE logic inject vMCE# only to vcpu0, this is not correct for Intel MCE (Under Intel arch, h/w generate MCE# to all CPUs). This patch fix vMCE injection bug, injecting vMCE# to all vcpus. Signed-off-by: Liu,

Hola, estoy teniendo problemas para conseguir que mi función haga lo que quiero. Necesito que coja los valores de la variable que le indico, le quite la letra que precede a dichos valores y los convierta en números enteros. Dejo un ejemplo de los datos que estoy tratando y de varias opciones de función con las que intento que funcione sin resultado. #Ejemplo >

in _csched_cpu_pick(), as not doing so may result in the domain''s node-affinity mask (as retrieved by csched_balance_cpumask() ) and online mask (as retrieved by cpupool_scheduler_cpumask() ) having an empty intersection. Therefore, when attempting a node-affinity load balancing step and running this: ... /* Pick an online CPU from the proper affinity mask */

I am currently looking at a bug report[1] which is happening when a Xen PVM guest with multiple VCPUs is running a high IO database load (a test script is available in the bug report). In experimenting it seems that this happens (or is getting more likely) when the number of VCPUs is 8 or higher (though I have not tried 6, only 2 and 4), having autogroup enabled seems to make it more likely, too

Enable cpufreq support in Xen for AMD Operton processors by: 1) Allowing the PowerNow! driver in dom0 to write to the PowerNow! MSRs. 2) Adding the cpufreq notifier chain to time-xen.c in dom0. On a frequency change, a platform hypercall is performed to scale the frequency multiplier in the hypervisor. 3) Adding a platform hypercall to the hypervisor the scale the frequency multiplier and reset

Hi, I have some problems to configure the xen I''ve installed (3.3.1). The computer is a Intel Core 2 Duo, I''m using Ubuntu 8.10 and have linux in my dom0 and winxp pro in my domU. I have two cores and I''d like to set the affinity of dom0 to cpu0 and domU to cpu1 but I haven''t find the way of making this permanent. I''ve set cpus=1 in the domU config

Hello, This small series deals with some weirdness in the mechanism with which the credit scheduler choses what PCPU to tickle upon a VCPU wake-up. Details are available in the changelog of the first patch. The new approach has been extensively benchmarked and proved itself either beneficial or harmless. That means it does not introduce any significant amount of overhead and/or performances

Hi Everyone, I am running 3.2.1 on Centos 5.2 with HAP enabled, NUMA enabled, ACPI enabled and the dom0 allocated 512Mb. I have setup a single core 1Gb VM for performance testing under Windows 2008 Server. Most CPU results are within a few percent of theoretical max but Memory performance is about half what I expected. I get 3.22Gb/Sec Sandra 2009 Memory performance for a single Opteron 8350

Hi, I'm running centos-4.4 on an SMP system with 4 dual core opterons (2.4 GHz), and 16 GB memory. The disk drives are 500 GB SATA-Drives.

Making a new 3 GB (1024 x 3megabytes blocks) file with dd needs 10.18

Hi Keir, The CS# 17131 which I write for bind guest to NUMA node via cpu affinity missed one condition existing in some machines, where there aren''t any cpus but only memories. Under this condition it will fail to set cpu_affinity because of none parameter. I cope with this condition in the new patch and make a little change of the methods to find suitable node to bind guest. When

We have several latency-sensitive "pipeline"-style programs that have a measurable performance degredation when run on CentOS 5.x versus CentOS 4.x. By "pipeline" program, I mean one that has multiple threads. The mutiple threads work on shared data. Between each thread, there is a queue. So thread A gets data, pushes into Qab, thread B pulls from Qab, does some processing,

The patch ''mem_event: use wait queue when ring is full'' I just sent out makes use of the waitqueue feature. There are two issues I get with the change applied: I think I got the logic right, and in my testing vcpu->pause_count drops to zero in p2m_mem_paging_resume(). But for some reason the vcpu does not make progress after the first wakeup. In my debugging there is one

Hi. Can anyone confirm if vcpupin works correctly with kvm? If set I pin a vcpu it shows up correctly via vcpuinfo, but querying via taskset shows the cpu is not pinned.

Hello, According to the docs, vcpupin will use either cgroups or sched_setaffinity to pin vcpu threads to cpus. How is this decision made? I observe differences even on different hosts featuring the same version of libvirtd (1.3.1): on one host vcpupin affects cpuset.cpus (cgroup), and on the other it affects vcpu threads affinity (observed through taskset).
