[Xen-devel] if p2m_is_paging then p2m_mem_paging_populate

[Olaf Hering <olaf@xxxxxxxxx>]

Patrick,

when should p2m_mem_paging_populate() get called?
Currently there is a mix of p2m_is_paged and p2m_is_paging in
xen-unstable. The latter would mean that any of the paging states will
reset the flag to p2m_ram_paging_in_start. Well, unless its
p2m_ram_paging_out which is checked in p2m_mem_paging_populate itself.

I could prepare a patch to convert all callers to if p2m_is_paged() then
p2m_mem_paging_populate().

My guess is that the busy loop I see in my testing is caused by some
race where p2mt is reset to p2m_ram_paging_in_start so that xen itself
doesnt make any progress after a while. I'm currently debug that sort of
hang.


Olaf
