Got it. But why 2MB? I have no any clue about it. -- Lin On Fri, Jul 18, 2008 at 5:10 PM, BVK Chaitanya < bayapuneni_chaitanya@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

XENMEM_machphys_mfn_list command is used to acquire the mapping between the pseudo-physical to machine. And the hypercall will fill in the struct xen_machphys_mfn_list.
I do not understand "This table is an array of pseudo-physical frame numbers of the start of 2MB extents, corresponding to 2MB rangs in the pseudo-physical address space".
"This table" means the array pointed by xen_machphys_mfn_list.extent_start.
I am reading the code about this struct, still in confusion.
:-)
Who can help me?
Only complication is, mfns returned are `base-mfns' for 2MB memory regions.
For example, if mfn 100 is returned, it means mfns 100-612 hold the 2MB region (612 = 100 + 512; 512 pages make 2MB)
