Hi all, I used netperf to measure throughput between dom0 & domU. The throughput between dom0 -> domU was 256.00 Mb/sec domU -> dom0 was 401.15 Mb/sec. The throughput between dom0 & domU seems to be very asymmetry. To my surprise the throughput between domU -> dom0 is more. The value which I specified are consistent values. Is

hi, my friends: recently, i am reading the source codes about hypercall. First, i study a simple hypercall, for example, the "do_xen_version". In "xen-3.1.0-src\xen\common\kernel.c", the definition of "do_xen_version" is: DO(xen_version) (int cmd, XEN_GUEST_HANDLE(void) arg) { .... } according to the " #define DO(fn) long do_##fn ", the expanded form is

From: Hongyong Zang <zanghongyong at huawei.com> Vhost-net uses its own vhost_memory, which results from user space (qemu) info, to translate GPA to HVA. Since kernel's kvm structure already maintains the address relationship in its member *kvm_memslots*, these patches use kernel's kvm_memslots directly without the need of initialization and maintenance of vhost_memory.

This adds support for CONFIG_COMPAT_VDSO. As this will certainly raise questions, I left in the code needed for an alternative approach (which requires mode C code, but less build script changes).

Hi all, I want to open a device(/dev/sda1, /dev/hda2 etc) in which my file exists. I've used 'stat' system call to get the device id. But now I want the device name from this id(st_dev). How to get that one? Or Do you have any other method to know the device name where my file resides? Thanks Bollywood, fun, friendship, sports and more. You name it, we have it on
