similar to: [patch 0/4] Revised softlockup watchdog improvement patches

Here's couple of patches to improve the softlockup watchdog. The first changes the softlockup timer from using jiffies to sched_clock() as a timebase. Xen and VMI implement sched_clock() as counting unstolen time, so time stolen by the hypervisor won't cause the watchdog to bite. The second adds per-cpu enable flags for the watchdog timer. This allows the timer to be disabled when the

The softlockup watchdog is currently a nuisance in a virtual machine, since the whole system could have the CPU stolen from it for a long period of time. While it would be unlikely for a guest domain to be denied timer interrupts for over 10s, it could happen and any softlockup message would be completely spurious. Earlier I proposed that sched_clock() return time in unstolen nanoseconds, which

Stamp softlockup thread earlier before do_timer, because the latter is the one to actually trigger lock warning for long-time offline. Or else, I obserevd softlockup warning easily at manual vcpu hot-remove/plug, or when suspend cancel into old context. One point here is to cover both stolen and blocked time to compare with offline threshold. vcpu hotplug falls into ''stolen''

We have tested the latest xen on VT platform with Intel 915/E8500 chipset. Three platforms (32/PAE/32E) test all are based on SMP, It means that we boot up SMP guest OS in VMX. Here is the test summary: New issue ================================================ No new issue Issues List: ================================================ 1) IA32E/PAE: 32bit Vista RTM network doesn''t

Hi list, After a lot of testing + troubleshooting, I guess I'm observing what I am now calling a regression with zaptel 1.4.10 (is it?) As such I call for peer feedback, before either asking Digium install support or filing a bug. Thanks in advance!

I tried booting the paravirt patches on a real machine to see what would happen. It had worked OK under qemu, so I thought it would be worth it. It seems to boot OK, though perhaps fairly slowly, but once it hits usermode it gets into trouble. When starting udevd, the startup script runs MAKEDEV, which seems to get stuck in an infinite loop in userspace. It eventually gets past that part

Hello All. I've just started looking into Xen and have a test environment in place. I'm seeing an annoying problem that I thought worthy of a post. Config: I have 2 x HP DL585 servers each with 4 Dual core Opterons (non-vmx) and 16GB RAM configured as Xen servers. These run CentOS 5.1 with the latest updates applied. These system both attach to an iSCSI target which is an HP DL385

Hi all, This is my first post to the list, I hope someone out there can help! I am running xen 3.0.3, with CentOS 5.2 based Dom0 (kernel-xen-2.6.18-92.1.22.el5) Recently I have noticed some complete system lockups on a few different servers. Neither Dom0 or any of the guests respond to pings, connecting a keyboard and monitor to the system only shows a blank screen. Nothing is written to logs

Trying to migrate a 64bit PV guest with 64GB running medium to heavy load on xen 3.4.0, it is showing lot of soft lockups. The softlockups are causing dom0 reboot by the cluster FS. The hardware has 256GB and 32 CPUs. Looking into the hypervisor thru kdb, I see one cpu in sh_resync_all() while all other 31 appear spinning on the shadow_lock. I vaguely remember seeing some thread on this while

I am using NFS over brtfs (vanilla 3.8.5) for heavy CoW to clone virtual disks with sizes 20-50GB. It worked OK for a couple of days, but yesterday it crashed. Reboot fixed the problem and I do not see any data corruption. I have a couple of different kdumps, I will include one as text and attach the other ones. I am using Fedora 18 with vanilla 3.8.5. The filesystem is created over a SAN volume
