Hi Tim, I think the behaviour is still the same, 1) cs23726 2) vvmc.c patched with attachment. 3) new compile after a little while the domu becomes ir-responsive. with xm dmesg I see a lot of these:(XEN) vvmx.c:1182:d3 vmclear gpa 1f5a89000 not the same as current vmcs 00000001f448f000 (XEN) vvmx.c:1182:d3 vmclear gpa 1f5a89000 not the same as current vmcs 00000001f448f000 Note: I have to say, patching this on this level is not common practice for me. although I think I did it the right way. please keep in mind I can make mistakes on this level. mfg, Jeroen.

Running two copies of 'kvm' inside that (i.e. simple n2s without any disks) I see this on the n0 console: (XEN) vvmx.c:1181:d1 vmclear gpa 3661d000 not the same as current vmcs 0000000036459000 (XEN) vvmx.c:1181:d1 vmclear gpa 36459000 not the same as current vmcs 000000003661d000 and the n1 guest locks up using 100% cpu on one of its vcpus.AFAICS when KVM has two VMs sharing a CPU, it just switches between them with VMPTRLD, rather than VMCLEARing the current one on every context switch. When it migrates one of them away, it VMCLEARs it, even if it's not the most recently loaded VMCS. Xen's emulation of VMCLEAR doesn't clear the 'launched' bit in this case, though the SDM says it should. The attached patch fixes the hang for me, but has had only very light testing (i.e. I haven't checked that proper OSes running inside the KVM VMs behave correctly). Eddie, does this look right to you? Jeroen, can you try it and see if it fixes your problems? Cheers, Tim. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
