From: Santosh Jodh <santosh.jodh at citrix.com> Add support for multi page ring for block devices. The number of pages is configurable for blkback via module parameter. blkback reports max-ring-page-order to blkfront via xenstore. blkfront reports its supported ring-page-order to blkback via xenstore. blkfront reports multi page ring references via ring-refNN in xenstore. The change allows

Netback and netfront only use one event channel to do tx / rx notification. This may cause unnecessary wake-up of process routines. This patch adds a new feature called feautre-split-event-channel to netback, enabling it to handle Tx and Rx event separately. Netback will use tx_irq to notify guest for tx completion, rx_irq for rx notification. If frontend doesn''t support this feature,

This patch adds a facility to block on a particular event channel, for when a domain needs to block, but cannot enable interrupts. A domain uses the call something like this: while (1) { clear_evtchn_pending(evtchn); if (check_for_data(evtchn)) break; HYPERVISOR_block_on(evtchn); } The clear of the pending is needed to ensure that any subsequent calls to block_on() don''t

Hello, I''ve hit known problem with dynamic memory management - memory fragmentation... This dynamic memory management basically does xl mem-set to balance memory. After some time of running system, xen memory is so fragmented that it is impossible to start new VM with PCI device. Sometimes it crashes during boot (no 64MB contiguous memory for SWIOTLB), or later - eg. iwlagn cannot

Hi All, We tested the xm block-attach/detach command. It repeats block-attach/detach command for DomU and pv-on-hvm on HVM Domain. (block-attach -> block-detach -> block-attach -> block-detach -> ...) The block-attach command failed when repeating 256 times. It is because the channel had not been freed in blkfront. Therefore, it remain using the event channel. This patch is

make balloon driver not return pages which are in [xen_start_info->nr_pages, max_pfn] on ia64. On ia64 memory might be assigned sparsely. In that case xen_start_info->nr_pages and max_pfn doesn''t match while pages which are in [xen_start_info->nr_pages, max_pfn] are used. -- yamahata _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list

Hi, With a fairly current kernel + xen, I''m seeing this if I rmmod iwlagn and try to reload it: [51230.646678] Intel(R) Wireless WiFi Link AGN driver for Linux, in-tree: [51230.646685] Copyright(c) 2003-2011 Intel Corporation [51230.646760] xen: registering gsi 17 triggering 0 polarity 1 [51230.646773] xen_map_pirq_gsi: returning irq 17 for gsi 17 [51230.646777] xen: --> pirq=17

lspci shows MSI enabled for PCI device. PCI passthrough works fine. However, as soon as the MSI driver for card is insmodded, kernel panics. This is on xen-unstable. Tried the same with xen-3.3.0 which is supposed to have MSI passthrough, but the same guest shows MSI as disabled. Any else seen this bug, or know of a workaround ? Trace is as follows : ------------[ cut here ]------------

Hi. Recently the xen-ia64 community started to make efforts to merge xen/ia64 Linux to upstream. The first step is to merge up domU portion. This patchset is preliminary for xen/ia64 domU linux making the current xen/x86 domU code more arch generic and adding missing definitions and files. Diffstat: arch/x86/xen/Makefile | 4 +- arch/x86/xen/grant-table.c | 91

This is a pair of Xen para-virtual frontend device drivers: drivers/video/xen-fbfront.c provides a framebuffer, and drivers/input/xen-kbdfront provides keyboard and mouse. The backends run in dom0 user space.
