Perhaps I should have used another hypercall to re-arrange the M2P? I think I did try 'XENMEM_exchange' but that is not the right call either.Yeah, that's allocating new pages in exchange for your old ones. Not really what you want.Perhaps I should use XENMEM_remove_from_physmap/XENMEM_add_to_physmap combo ?A pair of MMU_MACHPHYS_UPDATE operations would seem to be the right way of doing this (along with respective kernel internal accounting like set_phys_to_machine(), and perhaps a pair of update_va_mapping operations if the 1:1 map is already in place at that time, and you care about which page contents appears at which virtual address).OK. Matt & Matthew - my plate is quite filled and I fear that in the next three weeks there is not going to be much time to code up a prototype. Would either one of you be willing to take a crack at this? It would be neat as we could remove a lot of the balloon increase/decrease code in arch/x86/xen/setup.c. Thanks! Yeah sure. It won't be immediatly but I should be able to do that. Jan _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
