similar to: [PATCH] %fs/%gs cleanup in mmu_context.h

Hi, recently on irc channel (##xen) was some "discussion" about xen vs kvm... There was idea that it would be nice if domUs could survive dom0 restart, but this needs, for example, to have xenstored running in separate domain. In 2009 Alex Zeffertt posted some patches (http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2009-04/msg00696.html) to add this functionallity, but they

The two paravirt callbacks .mmu.activate_mm and .mmu.dup_mmap are sharing the same implementations in all cases: for Xen PV guests they are pinning the PGD of the new mm_struct, and for all other cases they are a NOP. In the end both callbacks are meant to register an address space with the underlying hypervisor, so there needs to be only a single callback for that purpose. So merge them to a

Hi Andi, This series of patches updates paravirt_ops in various ways. Some of the changes are plain cleanups and improvements, and some add some interfaces necessary for Xen. The brief overview: add-MAINTAINERS.patch - obvious remove-CONFIG_DEBUG_PARAVIRT.patch - no longer needed paravirt-nop.patch - mark nop operations consistently paravirt-pte-accessors.patch - operations to pack/unpack

In case of failing due to lack of memory in the system, blkif_init potentially leaves a leak if some of the allocations was sucessfully suceeded. This patch frees the memory allocated, avoiding the leak.

Hey all, Can anyone give me pointers on how (or whether it''s possible) to set up a watch on an item in the xenstore from a userspace program in domU? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Andi, Here's a repost of the paravirt_ops update series I posted the other day. Since then, I found a few potential bugs with patching clobbering, cleaned up and documented paravirt.h and the patching machinery. Overview: add-MAINTAINERS.patch obvious remove-CONFIG_DEBUG_PARAVIRT.patch No longer meaningful or needed. paravirt-nop.patch Clean up nop paravirt_ops functions, mainly to

Hi. This patchset is preparation patches for ia64/pv_ops support. They are almost trivial and mainly make kernel paravirtualization friendly. thanks, Diffstat: arch/ia64/kernel/irq_ia64.c | 1 - include/asm-ia64/intrinsics.h | 11 +++++++++++ include/asm-ia64/mmu_context.h | 6 +----- include/asm-ia64/smp.h | 2 ++ include/asm-ia64/system.h | 10 ++++++++-- 5 files

Hello XCI developers, I have a HP6930, downloaded xenclient from the git. And by following the instruction in HOWTO, I could get xenclient boot up fine. I try then to start a guest using xenvm.readme as template and nothing shows on the screen for the guest, although xenops shows 2 doms running. Can you point me to how to start a guest. And also, is the tree downloaded from git enough to arrive

Hi there, is there any chance that you update xen-2.0 branch for newer 2.6 linux kernels? I know xen-3.0 is now out, but we''re not going to upgrade our production systems as yet. We''d rather stick with 2.0(-testing) and newer kernels for some more if possible. Thanks! Michal Ludvig -- * Personal homepage: http://www.logix.cz/michal

Hi all, this series improves the use_mm / unuse_mm interface by better documenting the assumptions, and my taking the set_fs manipulations spread over the callers into the core API.

Some time in the last few dozen changesets (I''m at 13662:5bb084098493 now) I''ve started getting this error on xm create: [2007-01-29 12:23:41 7373] ERROR (__init__:1072) (13, ''Permission denied'') Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/brendan/dev/xen/xen-ss.hg/dist/install/usr/lib/python/xen/xend/Xen dDomain.py", line 1364, in

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

Hi list! What''s the correct way to solve this problem? When you select "Xen-compatible" subarchitecture most of the drivers (network,scsi,etc) disappear from the menuconfig.. Currently linux-2.6-xen.hg repository is unusable (as is).. for dom0 and domU also. -- Pasi Kärkkäinen ^ . .
