Do you have a serial line attached to the machine to capture the console output when this happens? Without that it's hard to knwo what the bug is. > From above, I conclude that I can map a HVM's page to another HVM, just > like two PVs. > Am I wrong? Who can give me some suggestion? Yes, HVM guests can now map granted frames, but not quite 'just like pv'. The grant hypercall maps the granted frame into the HVM guest's p2m map, instead of into the pagetables. That is, you pass in a PFN, and when the grant succeeds, you still need to map that PFN in your pagetables to access the page. The checkin that added the feature came with this comment: After some discussion, here's a second version of the patch I posted a couple of weeks back to map grant references into HVM guests. As before, this is done by modifying the P2M map, but this time there's no new hypercall to do it. Instead, the existing GNTTABOP_map is overloaded to perform a P2M mapping if called from a shadow mode translate guest. This matches the IA64 API. http://xenbits.xen.org/hg/xen-unstable.hg/rev/c0cb307d927f Tim. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
