Hi, I will be applying to GSoC 2010 under The Linux Foundation as mentoring organization (Virtualization working group). Below is the application for my planned project: "Memory Compression for Virtualized Environments" (according to LF template). I would be thankful for any comments/feedback. * Name Nitin Gupta * University / current enrollment University of Massachusetts Amherst

I am adding code in Xen that printk''s a size_t and find that I can''t write code (short of ifdef''ing) that compiles on both 32-bit and 64-bit because size_t is typedef''d in Xen as an unsigned long. C.f. http://www.velocityreviews.com/forums/t438359-portable-way-to-printf-a-sizet-instance.html It appears that the %z format is understood by Xen printk. Is the

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 list, (Please Cc: me in your replies because I'm not subscribed to this list.) While trying to build lukemftpd staticaly on FreeBSD, I got a link-time error. Libssh.a indeed provides the "xmalloc" symbol (I suppose there are more). I wonder if this is whether intentional or not. It is a very common function name, and I think it would be worth renaming it to something like

Hi All. While wandering in auth-pam.c I noticed that there's a few Portable-specific escapees from the xmalloc(foo * bar) cleanup. There's also a "probably can't happen" integer overflow in ssh-rand-helper.c with the memset: num_cmds = 64; - entcmd = xmalloc(num_cmds * sizeof(entropy_cmd_t)); + entcmd = xcalloc(num_cmds, sizeof(entropy_cmd_t));

[some de-capitalization of *SXP done manually by mailing list maintainer ; the originally was caught as potential spam. MM] I have a little R program that crashes with the message xmalloc: out of virtual memory The code has a repeat{} loop that watches the sizes of some files. When there's an increase it updates things by reading the last 65 lines of each file, doing some

Hi, With the latest FreeBSD 7.1 PRE-RELEASE, I am having trouble ssh'ing to FreeBSD 4 systems. I am getting this error: OpenSSH_5.1p1 FreeBSD-20080901, OpenSSL 0.9.8e 23 Feb 2007 debug1: Applying options for * debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /homes/rodrigc/.ssh/identity type -1 debug1: identity file

Various versions of Linux under various circumstances select TSC as the primary clocksource for the kernel. This is especially true for uniprocessor kernels, but also in some cases for multiprocessor kernels. In most cases, this is because a processor bit (tsc_invariant? constant_tsc?) is passed through directly from the hardware via Xen and tested by the hvm guest and the result implies that

A while ago (I think at the Xummit), I recall someone saying that the structure of the files in xenlinux may change soon so that the xen-specific files would move to a subdirectory or arch/<arch> (e.g. linux/arch/i386/xen instead of linux/arch/xen/i386). Is this still planned? If so, what is the timing? If it''s in progress, I''d like to get in the loop... Thanks, Dan

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).

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, I got "xmalloc: out of memory" when i used ssh-keyscan to a remote host that is using SSH protocol 2 and only protocol 2 (no fallback to SSH protocol 1). Looks to me more like ssh-keyscan doesn't talk SSH protocol 2 to the server. Please help. Here is the exact error: # /usr/local/bin/ssh-keyscan -v miad_1 # miad_1 SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_3.0.2p1 xmalloc: out of memory
