similar to: [PATCH] 0/2 VCPU creation and allocation

hi, i386 vcpu hotplug seems to work reliably but x86_64 does not and i think i have discovered why. in x86-64, a cpu within a domu can be removed with vcpu-set but subsequent calls do nothing. after xenwatch_thread grabs the event triggered by the write to the store, it calls the registered handler and never comes back. eventually, __cpu_die in drivers/xen/core/smpboot.c spins while waiting

Hello, Third version of the NUMA placement series Xen 4.2. All the comments received during v2''s review have been addressed (more details in single changelogs). The most notable changes are the following: - the libxl_cpumap --> libxl_bitmap renaming has been rebased on top of the recent patches that allows us to allocate bitmaps of different sizes; - the heuristics for deciding

libxl__domain_build_info_setdefault may be called several times, so rtc_timeoffset can''t be setted in it. Move rtc_timeoffset setting logic to libxl__build_pre.

Once Xen calculates nr_nodes properly, all nr_cpu calculations based on nr_nodes * sockets_per_node * cores_per_socket * threads_per_core are broken. The easy fix is to replace those calculations with a new field, nr_cpus in physinfo which is calculated by num_online_cpus(). This patch does so and attempts to change all users over to nr_cpus field in physinfo. This patch touches

Hi, I''ve installed xen-unstable 4.2 from actual git (last commit was 4dc7dbef5400f0608321d579aebb57f933e8f707). When I start a domU with xm all is fine include the cpu_weight I configured in my domU config. When I start the domU with xl then all my domU have the default cpu_weight of 256 instead of the configured one. Was the name of cpu_weight being changed for xl command ? My domU

Hi all, dom0_ops return -EACCES when the interface version in wrong. I think that an acm failure is closer to being non-priv''ed, which returns -EPERM. Wouldn''t want dom0 tools to report they were the wrong version just because ACM limited some operation, surely?

This patch changes the dom0_ops structures as discussed in the thread "32/64-bit hypercall interface". Keir, I added a struct inside XENIF_PTR() to catch direct users in the general code; it was quite useful to have the compiler identify those spots. I have compiled x86_32 and run it with xm-test[1] under qemu. There are 63 passed tests, so that''s good. I still need to

Hi, In the case of linux, crash_kexec() is occured by "sysrq c". In the case of DomainU on xen, Help is occured by "sysrq c" now. So The way of dumping DomainU''s memory manualy is nothing. I fix this issue by the following way. 1. Panic is occured by "sysrq c" on both Domain0 and DomainU. 2. On DomainU, coredump is generated in /var/xen/dump (on Domain0).

These two patches were originally part of the XSM series that I have posted, and remain prerequisites for that series. However, they are independent of the XSM changes and are a useful simplification regardless of the use of XSM. The Acked-bys on these patches were provided before rebasing them over the copyback changes in 26268:1b72138bddda, which had minor conflicts that I resolved. [PATCH

Testing on an 8-node 128-way NUMA machine has exposed a problem with Xen''s nr_cpus calculation. In this case, since Xen cuts off recognized CPUs at 32, the machine appears to have 16 CPUs on the first and second nodes and none on the remaining nodes. Given this asymmetry, the calculation of sockets_per_node (which is later used to calculate nr_cpus) is incorrect:

The series introduces auto-generation of the type definitions used in the libxl interface followed by auto-generation of a destructor function for each type. In the future it may be possible to use the related data structures for other purposes, for example auto-generation of the functions to marshal between C and language binding data types. tools/_libxl_types.h should be identical both before

Hi Keir, I am interested in changing the max vcpu threshold for a domain while it is running.

Xen needs auditing for races before * removing this check. */ ret = -EINVAL; if (
