hi. trying to understand the idea behind _notify in #define RING_PUSH_REQUESTS_AND_CHECK_NOTIFY(_r, _notify) do { \ RING_IDX __old = (_r)->sring->req_prod; \ RING_IDX __new = (_r)->req_prod_pvt; \ wmb(); /* back sees requests /before/ updated producer index */ \ (_r)->sring->req_prod = __new;

Hi, I implemented my own Hypercall in xen. Now I wish my application under dom0 could talk to Xen via my hypercall. Currently, I make a stub in dom0''s kernel, which works as a proxy to forward the request. So, my application first makes a system call to dom0, which then makes hypercall to xen. Is this design necessary? May I call hypercalls from user application under dom0 directly?

I was following an email chain in the xen mailing list on HVM hypercalls on grant tables and the email chain link is below http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2007-03/msg00688.html This link says that we need not required hypercalls to share memory b/w HVM''s. But as far as my understanding of sharing memory is concerned, I think the memory is shared using grant table

Hello, My apologies if this isn''t the right place to send questions about this thread. I have a couple one''s about proxy_arp and gratuitous arp reply frames. I have setup the proxy_arp parameter on a linux system (kernel 2.4.20). Now, when I start a M$-Windoze machine it complain about "...duplicated IP address...". This is a know behaviour, and the solution is

Hi I have a doubt regarding Mini-OS and Xen. If it is true that Xen reserves in the virtual address space the top 64MB on 32bit systems and 168MB in PAE systems, doesn''t it exist with a Mini-OS kernel which has only 32MB in size i.e. going by its default config file? Obviously I''m missing something. Regards, Bhaskar. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel

Hello, I have tested Xen live migration with HVM guests on xen 3.4.3 and 4.1.2. In both cases, the guest migrated successfully but ping from outside failed due to layer2 address-table not being updated on switch. Once the guests initiates network traffic, then pings from outside work. I''ve searched Xen mailing lists and wiki and haven''t found any definitive information about

Hi, So, the issue is a fairly common one: Network doesn''t work for like a minute or so after a live migration. The setup is a debian wheezy dom0 with xen 4.1.2 running 3.6.11 kernel. The domU is a Ubuntu 12.04 with a 3.2 kernel. The networking setup uses bridges on the dom0. I also made sure that the bridge forwarding delay is set to 0. The VM doesn''t initiate any network

Hi, I''m trying to use the SYSCALL/SYSRET opcodes with a minios kernel without much success. Going by the manuals (and linux sources) I first have to setup the STAR and LSTAR registers to define the segment and instruction pointer to be used for SYSCALL: /* * LSTAR and STAR live in a bit strange symbiosis. * They both write to the same internal register. STAR allows

Hi everyone I have created a function that uses xtable to print table of frequencies and percentages with a heading and some sample information (the sample size and missing values). The function and example data is below. I want a vertical line that separates the results from the sample information i.e. a vertical line on the bottom of the line second from last

I''ve implemented code to send out bogus gratuitous ARP packet from vna in order to fix CR 6701114. The webrev is at: http://jurassic.eng/net/consulte.prc/export/build/xvm-6701114/webrev Some backgroud information (see CR 6701114 for more detail): During live migration of an xVM domain from one dom0 to another, the VNIC will be moved from one switch port to another. But, the

Hi everyone (Pardon the incorrect terminology of my previous post: "vertical line...).

The function and example data is below. I want a horisontal line that separates the results from the sample information i.e. a

I am shame to say that I have never met a function whose return value is void*. This is the first time~~~ So, can anyone told me the meaning of the return value of this function -----xc_map_foreign_range? Is it a pointer pointed to a memory area corresponding the machine frame number(the last parameter passed to the function)? And the third parameter named size: the unit of size is in bytes or

Hi, I''d like to do some operation every time an hypercall is issued in a domU kernel. I started modifying include/asm-i386/mach-xen/asm/hypercall.h but I don''t think it''s such a great idea, so I think that, as a last chance, I''ll have to substitute all of the hypercall function call with some wrapper function of my own. Can anyone tell me if

Hi all, I''ve taken a stab at documenting the current interface between netfront and netback drivers, here: http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenNetFrontBackInterface Currently, the only way for non-Linux implementers to adhere to this interface is to study the Linux netfront driver, which has a great deal of optimizations and is not meant to be documentation. I''d love it if

Good morning, I am new to Xen, and trying to understand how Xen works. I have some questions about virtualization of interrupts on Xen. Thanks in advance for all helps. 1) From papers about Xen architecture found at Xen homepage, Xen seemingly intercepts interrupts of Dom1 (paravirtualization). So interrupts occur in Dom1''s context are sent to Xen, and Xen handles them. Is that correct?

Hi, I have a question about memory page tables in Xen. As far as I understood, every modification to page table will go through Xen(hypervisor). Is it so that all page tables are actually allocated in Xen(hypervisor) instead of guest OS(domain)? Also, is it the case that Xen(hypervisor) needs to maintain a page table for each process running in every domain? Thanks Haifeng

Does anyone (Hadley??) know if there's a straightforward way in ggplot2 to get data divided by a single factor to plot as a rectangular grid of subplots? So far I've only been able to get such data plotted as a single row or single column of skinny subplots. The code below gives an example implemented with lattice, and my best attempt in ggplot2 cheers Ben Bolker ------------ g=
