similar to: shadow OOS and fast path are incompatible

In sh_page_fault(), there are some code like following, why we think it is mmio only when paging_vcpu_mode_translate(v)? Thanks Yunhong Jiang /* What mfn is the guest trying to access? */ gfn = guest_l1e_get_gfn(gw.eff_l1e); gmfn = vcpu_gfn_to_mfn(v, gfn); mmio = (is_hvm_domain(d) && paging_vcpu_mode_translate(v) &&

Trying to migrate a 64bit PV guest with 64GB running medium to heavy load on xen 3.4.0, it is showing lot of soft lockups. The softlockups are causing dom0 reboot by the cluster FS. The hardware has 256GB and 32 CPUs. Looking into the hypervisor thru kdb, I see one cpu in sh_resync_all() while all other 31 appear spinning on the shadow_lock. I vaguely remember seeing some thread on this while

greetings. i am going to run a fresh install of centos 6.4 and want to mount 3 partitions of oos that are formatted as ntfs in an oem installed box. if during install, i set up partitions /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, and /dev/sdb1 as ntfs, will install install ntfs software or will i have to select it later on in installation? also, is it better to mount them under /mnt to keep /media clean? tia.

Dear All: I am pretty new to xen-devel, please correct me in the following. Assume we have the following terms GPT: guest page table SPT: shadow page table (Question a) When guest OS is running, is it always using SPT for address translation? If it is the case, how does guest OS refer and modify its own GPT content? It seems that there is a page table entry in SPT for the GPT page. (Question

We''ve got reports of that change causing HVM data corruption issues. While I can''t see what''s wrong with the patch, I''d suggest at least reverting it from the 3.3 tree (which is what our code is based upon) for the time being.

Hi. When I compiled xen-3.3-testing with DEBUG_TRACE_DUMP in xen/include/xen/lib.h turned on, I got some errors at SHADOW_PRINTK. The following patch will fix the arguments passed to SHADOW_PRINTK in xen/arch/x86/mm/shadow/common.c and xen/arch/x86/mm/shadow/multi.c. Although I haven''t tested, it is the same for xen-unstable.hg Thanks, Yoshi Signed-off-by: Yoshi Tamura

Hello, I''m new to Xen and especially to the hypervisor code. I''m working off a 3.0.4.1 base and have the following questions regarding the memory management code for an x86, 32-bit platform (capable of supporting PAE). I''m doing some research into providing grant table hypercall support from a Windows 2003 HVM. I have made all the necessary changes to allow the

Hi all, Recently, I read codes about the shadow page table. I''m wondering whether the kernel has provided the function to revoke write access of all the shadows of one domain. If you know one with this function, please tell me about it. Thanks. BTW, I have my own idea to implement this. My idea is as follows: void sh_revoke_write_access_all(struct domain *d) {

I''m not seeing the problem that Fan Zhao is reporting, instead I get this one. Not sure if ti''s the same one or a different problem... This happens with my simple-guest [i.e. not using hvmloader, as I described before]. This worked fine yesterday.

Hi there, I have a question regarding the functionality of x86_emulate_memop (Xen 3.1) or x86_emulate (Xen 3.2) function. This function gets called from sh_page_fault() function which is invoked when Xen receives a page fault. Since I am not clear completely about the emulation operation performed by Xen, I have following questions with a below mentioned scenario? 1) Suppose I have a memory

Hello, The fast emulation path patch introduced a bug when we have an event injection during a write to a pagetable: after removing shadows we still jump to the done label, releasing the lock even if we aren''t grabbing it.

Hi all, Can Xen hypervisor modify HVM domU's Shadow page table, under the dom0's context, like trapped from dom0's hypercall? I think it have to call 2 functions at least: guest_walk_tables() and flush_tlb_all(). Can these 2 functions called in dom0's context? In my test, if hypervisor tries to modify HVM's shadow page table, it will bring down the whole system. I am not

Hi, guys Recently I have been doing some research & I''ve got in trouble.

Tim, was it really intended for "x86/hvm: use unlocked p2m lookups in hvmemul_rep_movs()" to special case p2m_mmio_dm but not p2m_mmio_direct? Jan
