similar to: [PATCH 0 of 3] Miscellaneous populate-on-demand bugs

This patch series restores the use of superpages when restoring or migrating a VM, while retaining efficient batching of 4k pages when superpages are not appropriate or available.

There has been some progress, but still no joy. Definitely not intended for inclusion at this point. Tim, Wei, I added a Xen command line toggle to disable IOMMU and P2M table sharing. Tim, I verified that changes to p2m-pt.c don''t break shadow mode (64bit hypervisor and Win 7 guest). Hongkaixing, I incorporated your suggestion in patch 2, so I should add your Signed-off-by eventually.

With pretty trivial user mode programs being able to crash the kernel due to the ref counter widths in Xen being more narrow than in Linux, I started an attempt to put together a kernel side fix. While addressing the plain hypercalls is pretty strait forward, dealing with multicalls (both when using them for lazy mmu mode batching and when explicitly using them in e.g. netback - the backends are

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, V6: The only change from V5 is in patch #6: - changed comment to reflect autoxlate - removed a redundant ASSERT - reworked logic a bit so that get_page_from_gfn() is called with NULL for p2m type as before. arm has ASSERT wanting it to be NULL. Tim: patch 4 needs your approval. Daniel: patch 5 needs your approval. These patches implement PVH dom0. Patches 1 and 2

Populate-on-demand: Check pages being returned by the balloon driver This patch series is the second result of my work last summer on decreasing fragmentation of superpages in a guests'' p2m when using populate-on-demand. This patch series is against 4.1; I''m posting it to get feedback on the viability of getting a ported version of this patch into 4.2. As with the previous

I can boot a 64-bit HVM image on my SVM-system, and it goes quite a long way before it crashes (due to not finding the hard-disk image and thus no root FS - which I think may well be the configuration file). But if I set debug=y in the Rules.mk, I don''t get very far at all - it crashes well before it gets to any user-mode (Ring3) - in fact, I think it''s crashing pretty much as

Hi all, I had posted about MCA support for Intel64 before. It had only a function to log the MCA error data received from hypervisor. http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2008-09/msg00876.html I attach patches that support not only error logging but also Page Offlining function. The page where an MCA occurs will offline and not reuse. A new flag ''PGC_reserved''

From: Zhang Xiantao <xiantao.zhang@intel.com> With virtual EPT support, L1 hyerpvisor can use EPT hardware for L2 guest''s memory virtualization. In this way, L2 guest''s performance can be improved sharply. According to our testing, some benchmarks can show > 5x performance gain.

Hi, --- background ---------------------------------------------------- * what the makedumpfile is: To shorten the size of the dumpfile and the time of creating the dumpfile, makedumpfile copies only the necessary pages for analysis to the dumpfile from /proc/vmcore. You can specify the kind of unnecessary pages with dump_level. If you want to shorten the size further, enable the

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, Olaf we have tested the xenpaging feature and found some problems. (1) the test case like this : when we start a VM with POD enable, the xenpaging is started at the same time. this case will cause many problems ,finally, we fixed the BUG, the patch is attached below. (2) there is a very serious problem. we have observed many VM crash examples, the error code is not always the same.

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, all I want to reduce the checkpoint size of a VM by memory exclusion. I try to find out all the free pages by reference count at VMM-level, As they declared that: /* Page is on a free list: ((count_info & PGC_count_mask) == 0). */ , in struct page_info which is defined in /xen/include/asm-x86/mm.h, but unfortunately, all the pages in a idle VM accords with this condition.

This patch enables support of hugepages in a pv Xen environment. It is against the latest xen unstable tree on http://xenbits.xensource.com. The patch assumes the guest is passing a physically aligned hugepage. It does reference counting on all the underlying pages.

Does upstream dom0 support superpage? best regards yang

Hi, I sent the following e-mail to kexec-mailing list (kexec@lists.infradead.org) since subjects of makedumpfile are discussed on the mailing list. I want to inform this to xen developers since I think this function is useful for xen developers. Thanks. Itsuro Oda (see https://sourceforge.net/projects/makedumpfile/ about makedumpfile command.)
