(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

This is a cherry pick of two patches that add support for guest paged out frames in the XCP 2.6.32 dom0 patch queue. First patch propagates the ENOENT returned by the hypervisor in the case of a paged out page, all the way up the call chain to the MMAPBATCH_V2 ioctl. The ioctl is mainly used to harvest those return values and retry. The second patch adds retry loops to all backend grant

This patch is a significant performance improvement for the m2p_override: about 6% using the gntdev device. Each m2p_add/remove_override call issues a MULTI_grant_table_op and a __flush_tlb_single if kmap_op != NULL. Batching all the calls together is a great performance benefit because it means issuing one hypercall total rather than two hypercall per page. If paravirt_lazy_mode is set

Patrick, there following patches fix xenpaging for me. Granttable handling is incomplete. If a page is gone, a GNTST_eagain should be returned to the caller to inidcate the hypercall has to be retried after a while, until the page is available again. Please review.

This series introduces a generic readahead interface for btrfs trees. The intention is to use it to speed up scrub in a first run, but balance is another hot candidate. In general, every tree walk could be accompanied by a readahead. Deletion of large files comes to mind, where the fetching of the csums takes most of the time. Also the initial build-ups of free-space-caches and

Hi all, this patch series enables xen-swiotlb on arm and arm64. It has been heavily reworked compared to the previous versions in order to achieve better performances and to address review comments. We are not using dma_mark_clean to ensure coherency anymore. We call the platform implementation of map_page and unmap_page. We assume that dom0 has been mapped 1:1 (physical address == machine

Hi. This patchset implements ia64/xen domU support based on ia64/pv_ops frame work which was sent as another patchest. Changes from take 5 are rebased to Linux 2.6.26-rc3, bug fix ivt.S paravirtualization and multi entry point support. I believe these patches can be applied to the linux ia64 repository. This patchset does the followings. - Some preparation work. Mainly importing header files to

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
