Re: [Xen-devel] Memory Sharing
Hi, Harshan;
The share() in mem_sharing.c doesn't check if the content two pages
(handles) are the same. The function simply drop the 2nd one (client
handle), and that's why you got all VMs crash except the domU which is
used for getting the handles (shandles).
You have to use memcmp or some other way in share() function to make
sure they are actually the same.
Bests,
Jui-Hao
