Yes: If pseudo-phys page is not yet populated in target domain, AND it is first page of a 2MB extent, AND no other pages in that extent are yet populated, AND the next pages in the save-image stream populate that extent in order, THEN allocate a superpage. This is made trickier by the fact that the next 511 pages (to make the 2MB extent) might be split across a batch boundary. So we'll have to optimistically allocate a superpage in that case, and then shatter it if it turns out that the contiguous stream of pseudo-phys addresses is broken in the next batch. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
