In order to be meaningful and usable together with other measuring methods, their use in my opinion should impose as little overhead as possible. With that, I wonder why per-cpu counters use atomic operations.

Hi, Maybe it''s a dumb question, but I''m actually trying to understand how the memory allocation works within Xen. I try to give 128MB to a domU and see if it increases for example when I "nano" a 500mb file, but the process just get killed when it reachs the 128MB memory limit. How do I configure the guests so they can ask for more memory until a limit is reached

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

Hello, how can a gfn become 0x555555 as checked in p2m.c:guest_physmap_add_entry() and p2m_alloc_table()? Looking further in p2m.c, audit_p2m() checks only for a 32bit value. So where is that magic number set, and why is it not a define to simplify grepping for users of that value?

In p2m.c (line 197 and line 550), the code assumes the number of L3 P2M table entries is 8 (under PAE mode). According to Intel and AMD specs, it is 4. Could someone explain this discrepancy? Is it a bug? -Wei _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Hi Keir: These two patches remove the need for netloop by performing the copying in netback and only if it is necessary. The rationale is that most packets will be processed without delay allowing them to be freed without copying at all. So instead of copying every packet destined to dom0 we''ll only copy those that linger longer than a specified amount of time (currently 0.5s). As it

Hi, I looked at the sources and figured out all about the P2M, M2P tables and mappings, Now I''m trying to figure out how dom0 virtual memory is implemented, and I have some questions. The platform I''m working on is x86 with Intel VT enabled. 1. Is dom0 virtual memory managed differently than the other domains? what about hvms? and domUs? 2. What tables are used to manage the

Hi, V6: The only change from V5 is in patch #6: - changed comment to reflect autoxlate - removed a redundant ASSERT - reworked logic a bit so that get_page_from_gfn() is called with NULL for p2m type as before. arm has ASSERT wanting it to be NULL. Tim: patch 4 needs your approval. Daniel: patch 5 needs your approval. These patches implement PVH dom0. Patches 1 and 2

I''ve recently noticed that my windows crash dumps fail at around 40-50% under GPLPV. ''xm dmesg'' shows the following: (XEN) grant_table.c:350:d0 Iomem mapping not permitted ffffffffffffffff (domain 865) At first I thought that the cause was just a bug in my grant ref code but it just occurred to me that this could be happening when Windows tries to write out the

(This is a continuation of "[PATCH v9] xen/grant-table: Avoid m2p_override during mapping") The grant mapping API does m2p_override unnecessarily: only gntdev needs it, for blkback and future netback patches it just cause a lock contention, as those pages never go to userspace. Therefore this series does the following: - the bulk of the original function (everything after the mapping

As promised, in preparation for next week's SIG meeting, here's a kick-off discussion about the Virtualization SIG roadmap. I'm mainly tossing out ideas here -- see this is an invitation to discussion. Key things I think should be on the roadmap: * Release process - General cadence - Estimate of the next release (if any) * Specification of targets - Right now, mainly xen4centos

Hi, Is there any tool out there that can help me analyze a coredump? Thanks, David. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Hi, I''ve added some preliminary support for VT-d for paravirtualized guests. This must be enabled using an ''iommu_pv'' boot parameter (disabled by default). I''ve added some python bindigs to allow xend to assign PCI devices to IOMMU for PV guests. For HVM guests this is handled in ioemu. Not sure if it makes sense to handle both cases in one place. The

hi I try to understand the code of xen memory there are gmfn, gpfn and pfn in the xen and in the /xen/include/xen/mm.h there are some explanation about them as follows: * 1. gpfn/gpaddr: A guest-specific pseudo-physical frame number or address. * 2. gmfn/gmaddr: A machine address from the p.o.v. of a particular guest. * 3. mfn/maddr: A real machine frame number or address. * 4.

I am currently using a Dell PowerEdge server R610 with Xen 4.0 installed and the 2.6.31.13 pvops kernel. I am accessing the server console using the iDRAC KVM feature of the dell management console. Does anyone know how to configure the console option in the grub menu so that all the boot messages can be seen on the mgmt console? Currently I can view only the Xen bootup messages if I dont specify

Hi, hope the week has started out well for everyone. This report may be in the FWIW department since there may be a fundamental reason why this doesn''t work. We elected to report this to the Xen community since we thought any behavior which corrupted disk images needed to at least be reported. We are maintaining the Xen-SAN release which provides hotplug functionality to allow Xen
