The codescanwork,but some bugs may be not triggered.How do you reconcile the incoming QEMU save record with therunningemulator state? We introduce a qmp command "xen-load-devices- state"(libxl__qmp_restore) which can restore the emulator state. The step of resotre emulator state atacheckpoint is: 1. libxl__qmp_stop -> vm_stop() in qemu 2. libxl__qmp_restore -> load_vmstate() in qemu 3. libxl__qmp_resume -> vm_start() in qemuOk, that sounds like the ideal time to hook back into Xen by creating anewioreq server. I have some questions about ioreq server: 1. If we use old version xen and newest version qemu, is it OK? Isdefaultioreq server created when the guest is created.xen_create_ioreq_server()does nothing, and xen_get_ioreq_server_info() will get the default ioreqserverinformation. Is it right?No. It's not compatible in that direction. A new Xen will work with an oldQEMU but not the other way round.If the xen is newest, and qemu is old, how is the default ioreq server created for the emulator? Will the old qemu call xc_get_hvm_param(), and the hypervisor then creates a default ioreq server? get is a 'readonly' operation, and creating the default ioreq server in it is very strange.Might be strange, but that's the way it's done. If I only want to get the default ioreq server pfn, and don't want to create the default ioreq server, how can I do it? Thanks Wen Congyang 2. Why we create a default ioreq server when getting the hvm param ifthereis already a not default ioreq server?If something reads the 'legacy' HVM params then that is Xen's trigger tocreate the default server. Any 'new' emulator should be using the ioreq server hypercalls so the default server will not be needed. If there are two ioreq servers: default ioreq server, and a ioreq server created by emulator. The guest can work it correctly in this case?You mean a secondary emulator? Yes, that's why there is the notion ofdefault ioreq server... to allow a secondary emulator to be used even when an old QEMU is in use. No, only one emulator. Can we run more than one emulator for one hvm guest? How to do it?Yes, more than one emulator can run. There's nothing in libxl to do it, but we do it in XenServer using XAPI.Is there any application(not emulator) that uses the libxenctrl directly?What do you mean by application? Toolstacks may use libxenctrl.For example: libvirt. I know it uses libxl now. Is there any similar application which uses libxenctrl.Well, XAPI uses it for one. PaulThanks Wen CongyangPaulThanks Wen Congyang3. In the far end, we will clear the ioreq page, and this ioreq page isusedfordefault ioreq server, is it right?Yes, AFAIK it's only the 'magic' pages that get cleared at the far end - andthat includes the default server pages. Other ioreq servers will have their pages cleared on re-insertion to the P2M at the source end when theserveris disabled.PaulThanks Wen CongyangPaulPaulThanks Wen CongyangPaulThanks Wen CongyangPaulWe will set to the guest to a new state, the old state shouldbedropped.Thanks Wen CongyangPaulThanks Wen CongyangPaulThanks Wen Congyang~Andrew ..._______________________________________________Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel_______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel .._______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel .-- Thanks, Yang...._______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
