Looking more closely at usage of action field with relation to IRQ_GUEST flag. It appears that set IRQ_GUEST implies that action is not NULL. As result it is not safe to set action to NULL and leave IRQ_GUEST set. Hence IRQ_GUEST should be cleared in dynamic_irq_cleanup where action is set to NULL. An addition remove BUGON at __pirq_guest_unbind that appears to be bogus and not needed anymore.

OK, I need to do something like this to io_apic.c - split the hardware specific parts out under mach-default, so we can override them for other subarchitectures. It's not finished, needs header file and makefile work. Would you be willing to take this if I do it? I'm not going to bother if you're not, such refactorings are a pig to maintain out of tree. Frankly, io_apic.c needs a

With the .end() accessor having become optional and noting that several of the accessors'' behavior really depends on the result of msi_maskable_irq(), the splits the MSI IRQ chip type into two - one for the maskable ones, and the other for the (MSI only) non-maskable ones. At once the implementation of those methods gets moved from io_apic.c to msi.c. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich

There is a BUG_ON() at xen/arch/x86/physdev.c:169 which appears to be dependent upon guest behavior (should close event channel before un-mapping pirq), rather than on internal hypervisor state. In 2.6.18, this likely goes unnoticed because pci_device_shutdown() only calls all the driver shutdown routines. In newer kernels, however, it also calls pci_msi_shutdown() and pci_msix_shutdown(), which

Ever since 3.0.2 we''ve been carrying this patch in our products. Since there was no indication that there would be anything wrong with the ''new'' IO-APIC ack method added back then, we finally decided to drop this patch recently from SLE11, to find that the subsequent release candidate failed to work on at least on system without using "ioapic_ack=old". With

This set of patches adds the support for acceleration plugins to the netfront/netback drivers. These plugins are intended to support virtualisable network hardware that can be directly accessed from the guest, bypassing dom0. This is in response to the RFC we posted to xen-devel with an outline of our approach at the end of September. To follow will be another set of patches to provide our

This set of patches converts the way frames gets created from using PUSHes/POPs to using MOVes, thus allowing (in certain cases) to avoid saving/restoring part of the register set. While the place where the (small) win from this comes from varies between CPUs, the net effect is a 1 to 2% reduction on a combined interruption entry and exit when the full state save can be avoided. 1: use MOV

The following 5 patches are re-submissions of the vt-d patch. This set of patches has been tested against cs# 15080 and is now much more mature and tested against more environments than the original patch. Specifically, we have successfully tested the patch with following environements: - 32/64-bit Linux HVM guest - 32-bit Windows XP/Vista (64-bit should work but did not test) -

Hi, All Intel QA conducted a full validation for xen 4.1 rc1, it includes VT-x, VT-d, SRIOV, RAS, TXT and xl tools testing. 24 issues were exposed. Refer the bug list, please. We already assigned 14 bugs to Intel developers (which has an ''Intel'' tag in the bug title), most of the rest 10 bugs are related xl command. For the these bugs, need community''s help to fix
