Introduce the basic VMI sub-arch configuration dependencies. VMI kernels only are designed to run on modern hardware platforms. As such, they require a working APIC, and do not support some legacy functionality, including APM BIOS, ISA and MCA bus systems, PCI BIOS interfaces, or PnP BIOS (by implication of dropping ISA support). They also require a P6 series CPU. Signed-off-by: Zachary Amsden

Hi, please Cc: all replies, I'm not subscribed I seem to have troubles with my Linux bridge (2.6.8-rc2), which is apparently not bridging UDP fragments (NFS) when passing packets through iptables, but I do not see in the iptables stats where the packets are dropped. Policies for INPUT, FORWARD, OUTPUT are all "ACCEPT", and I grepped for all REJECT and DROP rules in iptables -nvL,

With recent 2.6 kernels, the command brctl delbr br0 hangs during shutdown, and the kernel prints this message again and again: unregister_netdevice: waiting for br0 to become free. Usage count = 1 I was able to reproduce this problem with several kernels between (and including) 2.6.9-rc1 and 2.6.11-rc2-bk9. I haven't tried later versions than 2.6.11-rc2-bk9 yet. 2.6.8.1-bk2 still works

Make GDT page aligned and page padded to support running inside of a hypervisor. This prevents false sharing of the GDT page with other hot data, which is not allowed in Xen, and causes performance problems in VMware. Rather than go back to the old method of statically allocating the GDT (which wastes unneded space for non-present CPUs), the GDT for APs is allocated dynamically. Signed-off-by:

Hello, Due to a recent change in the bridge code, we now need a way of knowing if a packet has been defragmented. The bridge code now checks on the packet size and drops packets that are too big for the output port. Defragmented packets will get refragmented later, so they shouldn't be dropped. I've been reading the defragmentation code and can't find an easy way of knowing if a

Hi, I've encountered the following problem at a client. The problem results in one or more of the smbd processing continuously grabbing more and more memory until the system runs out of memory or just becomes unusable due to a low memory condition. This error is extremely serious as the entire server is eventually brought down by one error. After debugging this error at the

Hello, Stephen, List! Attached is the patch for iproute2 to add the possibility to use fwmark in u32 filters. The kernel part was included in 2.6.10. Please apply! Thank you!

Unlike full virtualization in which the virtual machine provides the same platform interface as running natively on the hardware, paravirtualization requires modification to the guest operating system to work with the platform interface provided by the hypervisor. Xen was designed with performance in mind. Calls to the hypervisor are minimized, batched if necessary, and non-critical codepaths
