similar to: Transaction mapping in xenstored

This patch was created for 3.1.0. Based on inspection, I believe the current version has the same problem, but I did not actually try it. I hope you''ll find the patch useful anyway. Xen cannot work when xenstored''s tdb is corrupt. When that happens somehow (and we''ve seen it happen), even reboot doesn''t recover from it. It could: there is no state in tdb

This patch moves some dom0 variables and backend device configuration from frontend directories to /local/domain/<backdomid>/backend or /vm. Also, - the first console is created as a xend device and moves from console/0 to device/console/0 - /vm_path/<domid> is introduced, referencing the /vm path - /vm_path/device/backend holds the backend device location, rather than storing it

16396:055d98aa2dd0 almost works but not quite. LDFLAGS_DIRECT means we end up with: gld -melf_i386 -nostdlib -N -Ttext 0x100000 -o hvmloader.tmp hvmloader.o mp_tables.o util.o smbios.o 32bitbios_support.o acpi/acpi.a Specifying a linker script and asking for -nostdlib is obviously contradictory. Removing $(LDFLAGS_DIRECT) fixes the problem. regards john

xend has a timeout such that if an ''xm shutdown'' request does not result in the domain shutting down within a certain time period, the domain is violently destroyed. This seems like a strange choice - if the domain isn''t responding properly to such requests, then it must be in a buggy state, and should surely be preserved for administrator action (dumping core,

This fast-track covers the SMF-related changes for dom0. This is a final draft, so any comments by the end of the week please... Man pages are attached. thanks john SMF services for Xen 1. Introduction This case introduces the SMF services used by a Solaris-based domain 0 when running on Xen, or a Xen-compatible hypervisor. All of these services only run on domain 0 when booted

Hi, on my system (Linux 2.6.18.8 - ia64), if a domain write on the xencons before xenconsole is initialized the domain gets back what it wrote. This patch fixes this issue by making raw the pty slave very early. (I suppose it doesn''t happen with linux as a guest because it takes a little bit of time before writing to xencons).

It seems that VCPU system time isn''t monotonic (using 3.0.4). It seems it might be correlated to when a VCPU is switched across real CPUs but I haven''t conclusively proved that. But e.g.: { old = { time = { version = 0x4ec pad0 = 0xe8e0 tsc_timestamp = 0x22cc8398b7194 system_time =
