Hi
Regarding the Linux PV-on-HVM drivers - they may have the same issue. Full
PV guests do not as they have a gnttab_suspend() function called during
suspend callback (and for subtle reasons xc_domain_save can detect and not
save Xenheap pages for a full PV guests anyway - because it can see the P2M
table in that case).
Live migration of linux PVonHVM passed on Xen3.4 successfully, but windows os with pv driver failed.
Like I said before -- unmapping the gnttab pages I think will not help you
for live migration, but I suppose it is a reasonable thing to do anyway. For
live migration I think xc_domain_save needs t get a bit smarter about
Xenheap pages in HVM guests.
Yes. The live migration of windows domu with pv driver failed again after we added unmapping gnttab and shinfo pages in suspending process. The save process is OK, but the restore hit the similar problem. So what should we do in windows pv driver to avoid this problem? Any suggestion for this issue?

Any suggestion is appreciated.

Following is the log of restore process:
