similar to: first_sect & last_sect in blkif_request_segment

Hello List, I have a small problem with the ring when transferring blocks the id on the response is different from the request. This is the boot up read, count 0. The guest requests block 0, it has to be located at 7c00. I go ahead and create a REQUEST with this data: ring_req = RING_GET_REQUEST(priv,priv->req_prod_pvt); ring_req->id = 9; ring_req->nr_segments=1; ring_req->operation

Dear list, This is the V4 of the trim support for xen-blkfront/blkback, Now we move BLKIF_OP_TRIM to BLKIF_OP_DISCARD, and dropped all "trim" stuffs in the patches, and use "discard" instead. Also we updated the helpers of blkif_x86_{32|64}_request or we will meet problems using a non-native protocol. And this patch has been tested with both SSD and raw file, with SSD we will

I accidentally realized today that any domU''s using the paravirt disk driver potentially suffer from poor performance when they get handed in a physical volume and partitioning is done inside the guest. The physical volume passed in has to be one that has the compat 512 logical sector size but hints its real sector size (eg. 4096) as physical sector size. In dom0 handling is correct and

This patch series introduces the shared ring used by the front-end to pass request descriptors to tapdisk, as well as responses from tapdisk to the front-end. Requests from this ring end up in tapdisk''s standard request queue. When the tapback daemon detects that the front-end tries to connect to the back-end, it spawns a tapdisk and tells it to connect to the shared ring. The shared

When I submitted the qcow2 patch for blktap, suggestions came up that the qemu block drivers should be used also for blktap to eliminate the current code duplication in ioemu and blktap. The attached patch adds support for a tap:ioemu pseudo driver. Devices using this driver won''t use tapdisk (containing the code duplication) any more, but will connect to the qemu-dm of the domain. In

This patch implements persistent grants for the xen-blk{front,back} mechanism. The effect of this change is to reduce the number of unmap operations performed, since they cause a (costly) TLB shootdown. This allows the I/O performance to scale better when a large number of VMs are performing I/O. Previously, the blkfront driver was supplied a bvec[] from the request queue. This was granted to

I really need to have the ability to tie event channel port''s to interrupts for my gplpv drivers under Windows. Is anyone working on anything like this? Does MSI allow more than one interrupt per PCI device?

Hello, All, Today one of our servers was crashed, after I rebooted the server, one vps can not boot up, and it needs fsck, after I run fsck command, a lot of files lost, and also some file content was changed. Not sure how could it happen, do you have any advice that can avoid this or recover the data? Thanks. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list

I''m just doing some testing on the gplpv drivers with different ways of handling interrupts, and I''m trying a scheme where each xen device (eg vbd/vif) driver attaches to the same IRQ as the pci driver, and each handles it in sequence. In testing though, I noticed the following when logging what each ISR is doing: 60.32381439 - evtchn event on port 5 60.32384109 - port 5

''xm block-attach'' doesn''t let me assign the same backend device anymore, even if I use ''r!'' or ''w!''. I think this has changed since 3.1.1 (or maybe since 3.1.0). Is this the way it is supposed to work? Thanks James _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com

I am having problems with save/restore under 3.3.1 in the GPLPV drivers. I call hvm_shutdown(xpdd, SHUTDOWN_suspend), but as soon as I lower IRQL (enabling interrupts), qemu goes to 100% CPU and the DomU load goes right up too. Xentrace is showing a whole lot of this going on: CPU0 200130258143212 (+ 770) hypercall [ rip = 0x000000008020632a, eax = 0xffffffff ] CPU0 200130258151107 (+

I''ve recently noticed that my windows crash dumps fail at around 40-50% under GPLPV.

Hi, DomU is a Win2008 R2 64 When i install the GPLPV drivers the network latency goes from 15ms to random numbers up to 1200ms and eventually dies. If you run a ping from the DomU to another host the network stays alive but the high latency is still there. Further more if i try and uninstall the network driver i am unable to use the old one (realtek) as it cannot detect the device.
