similar to: [PATCH] Shadow dirty-VRAM: avoid multiple remove_all_mappings calls.

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

By default, the function add_to_physmap_one set mfn to 0. Some code paths that result to an error, continue and the map the mfn 0 (valid on ARM) to the slot given by the guest. To fix the problem, return directly an error if sanity check has failed.

Can you please check the vcpu status? I suspect one of the vcpu is blocked by halt instruction.

This fixes a bug in changeset 22526:7a5ee3800417, where the wrong value is read when deciding whether to flush the VTd tables. The effect is minor: in situations where the p2m entry is changed but the mfn is the same, the VTd tables will be unnecessarily flushed. old_entry is left untouched in the second case, since having a present old_entry will cause the an unnecessary check to be taken at

Hi, I looked at the function xc_translate_foreign_address(), and see that it walks the page table of the guest VM. So at best, it should return the pfn of the guest (?) We can see taht the Later part of the function is like this: ... if (pt_levels >= 3) mfn = (pte & L0_PAGETABLE_MASK_PAE) >> PAGE_SHIFT; else mfn = (pte & L0_PAGETABLE_MASK)

This is a slightly modified version of the original VGA patch that removes changes to the configure script to check for SSE2 capabilities. SSE2 is now only checked at run time.

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) {

Hello, Recently many advanced memory mechanisms are introduced into Xen. One problem we found is the conflict between p2m query and setting. For example, backend drivers always map domU’s page to its own space, during the mapping procedure, situations as follow may happen, when mfn is obtained by gfn_to_mfn(), this mfn is likely to be paged out. first case: grant mapping

(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

Noticed that on change set 12568, we change the valid_mfn to be in fact the mfn_valid(). Then on change set 12572, we change the shadow_set_p2m_entry() to use mfn_valid(). I''m a bit confused by this change. I think current meaning of mfn_valid() is to check if the mfn is valid RAM. It is ok for page table pages. But for p2m table, considering shadow for driver domain or considering IOMMU

Hi sahil: I think the reason why you cannot get page shared is due to the gref you got. Gref is responsible for a page allocated from domU, in my understanding it should not be 0, that is a gref 0 can not be shared, that''s why I skip gref 0 to be nominated. The gref is nominated to Xen and later used to find a corrspond MFN, so it shall not always be the same.

The VRAM MM memory manager is a helper library that manages dedicated video memory of simple framebuffer devices. It is supported to be used with struct drm_gem_vram_object, but does not depend on it. The implementation is based on the respective code from ast, bochs, and mgag200. These drivers share the exact same implementation except for type names. The helpers are currently build with TTM.

When thinking about multithreading the device model, it occurred to me that it''s a little odd that we''re doing a memcmp to determine which portions of the VRAM has changed. Couldn''t we just use dirty page tracking in the shadow paging code? That should significantly lower the overhead of this plus I believe the infrastructure is already mostly there in the shadow2

hi, How can I get corresponding shadowed page number of a virtual address in vm? -- Best Regards, Mohamad Rezaei

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
