Each of these drivers has a copy of the same trivial helper function to convert the pointer argument and then call the native ioctl handler. We now have a generic implementation of that, so use it.

Hi list, Recently I was debugging L2 guest slow booting issue in nested virtualization environment (both L0 and L1 hypervisors are all Xen). To boot a L2 Linux guest (RHEL6u2), it will need to wait more than 3 minutes after grub loaded, I did some profile, and see guest is doing disk operations by int13 BIOS procedure. Even not consider the nested case, I saw there is a bug reporting normal VM

The following series implements libxl_domain_config_init as per the libxl API requirement that each type has an init function. The first function does this in an open coded manner and is proposed for Xen 4.2. The second function is RFC only since it moves the definition of this type into the IDL and makes the required infrastructure updates to enable this. I think this is more 4.3 material at

The series "HVM firmware passthrough" series in Jan 2013 from Ross Philipson cause two regressions for HVM guests which sadly found their way into the Xen 4.3 release. The first regression causes an incorrect count of tables to be placed in the main header, and can be seen by running dmidecode in any applicable HVM domain. The second regression found its way into the public ABI, making

The first patch is a leftover from the switch to libxl__create_qemu_logfile, and while there it also handles possible errors when opening /dev/null. The second one is a fix for the issues present in do_daemonize. Thanks, Roger.

Hi Everyone, According to this CVE: http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-announce/2012-06/msg00001.html The patch has been added to xen-3.4-testing.hg. However, when I look here: http://xenbits.xen.org/hg/xen-3.4-testing.hg/ I don''t see any recent commits. Am I missing something? I feel it is very important that these patches make its way into this branch, and tagged as 3.4.5
