The hypervisor will check if the evtchn is corrupted, so we cannot zero the ioreq page more than one time. The ioreq->state is always STATE_IOREQ_NONE after the vm is suspended, so it is OK if we only zero it one time. Signed-off-by: Yang Hongyang <yanghy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Wen congyang <wency@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> CC: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@xxxxxxxxxx>The issue here is that we are running the restore algorithm over a domain which has already been running in Xen for a while. This is a brand new usecase, as far as I am aware. Exactly. Does the qemu process associated with this domain get frozen while the secondary is being reset, or does the process get destroyed and recreated. What do you mean by reset? do you mean secondary is suspended at checkpoint? I have a gut feeling that it would be safer to clear all of the page other than the event channel, but that depends on exactly what else is going on. We absolutely don't want to do is have an update to this page from the primary with an in-progress IOREQ. ~Andrew--- tools/libxc/xc_sr_restore_x86_hvm.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/libxc/xc_sr_restore_x86_hvm.c b/tools/libxc/xc_sr_restore_x86_hvm.c index 6f5af0e..06177e0 100644 --- a/tools/libxc/xc_sr_restore_x86_hvm.c +++ b/tools/libxc/xc_sr_restore_x86_hvm.c @@ -78,7 +78,8 @@ static int handle_hvm_params(struct xc_sr_context *ctx, break; case HVM_PARAM_IOREQ_PFN: case HVM_PARAM_BUFIOREQ_PFN: - xc_clear_domain_page(xch, ctx->domid, entry->value); + if ( !ctx->restore.buffer_all_records ) + xc_clear_domain_page(xch, ctx->domid, entry->value); break; }. -- Thanks, Yang. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
