Hi all, These are the patches I'm planning to submit for 2.6.24. Comments gratefully accepted. Along with the usual cleanups and improvements are Jes' de-i386-ification patches, and a new "virtio" mechanism designed to be shared with KVM (and hopefully other hypervisors). Cheers, Rusty.

Hi, For some days I have been looking for the bug that causes an easily reproducible oops in the guest when I apply my PAE support _draft_ patch (appended at the end of this mail) to lguest. This is the oops: Setting kernel variables...done. Will now mount local filesystems:. Will now activate swapfile swap:done. Cleaning /tmp... [ 84.749676] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer

The following patches are the latest update of the TSC and hrtimer patches I posted on 29/03. Rusty's original TSC patch has been resynced to the latest lguest repo, as has the hrtimer patch, which also incorporates feedback from Jeremy & Rusty: - Change clock event hrtimer to absolute time. 'now' is captured in the host during the hypercall. - Propagate -ETIME back to the

The netfilter code had very good documentation: the Netfilter Hacking HOWTO. Noone ever read it. So this time I'm trying something different, using a bit of Knuthiness.

1) Example code: old libc headers don't have SIOCBRADDIF, and old zlibs don't have gzdirect() -- it's a sanity check anyway. 2) Some people don't build in their source directories, so .config isn't there (thanks to Tony Breeds <tony@bakeyournoodle.com>). 3) Point out that guest and host kernel are usually the same. 4) Set the "no checksum" option on the

Hi all, Gratefully-received recent feedback from CC'd was applied to excellent effect (and the advice from Matt Mackall about my personal appearance is best unrequited). The patch is split in 5 parts to correspond with the 9 parts Andrew sent out before, but here's the summary: 1) Sparse (thanks Christoph Hellwig): - lguest_const can be static now - lguest.c should include

Christoph Hellwig said runs sparse: 1) page_tables.c unnecessary initialization 2) Change prototype of run_lguest and do cast in caller instead (when we add __user to cast, it runs over another line). Al Viro pointed out the ugly cast in push_lguest_stack(): 3) Stick with unsigned long for arg, removes 4 casts in total. Most importantly, I now realize that Christoph's incorrect ranting
