Hi all, I used to run VServer in the past and recently gave Xen a try. I pretty much like both of these technologies - each of them has some advantages that the other one can't offer. I appreciate the real independence of Xen domains but the memory overhead of running a kernel for each domain and the need to partition the memory space may become a limitation. On the other hand in VServer the contexts run on top of the same kernel and may share the available memory which may come handy in some deployments. So I decided to merge both patches and surprisingly enough - it works! I don't now (yet) how stable it is but the kernel booted as domU and a guest vserver context was created, some prcosses are running inside and everything looks just fine. Versions used: * Linux kernel 2.6.11 * Xen 2.0-testing from yesterday * VServer 2.0-rc4 (last version for 2.6.11) Apply the attached patch on top of these. Xen userspace is 2.0-testing as well, util-vserver 0.30.204 (debian build), running on Debian Sarge. My configuration was x86, statically compiled without modules, domU with no physdev access, 3G/1G memspace split on x86, no preempt, no selinux. What else? This is the very first shot, I don't guarantee that it is stable, secure, etc, but if you're brave enough give it a try ;-) Michal Ludvig -- * Personal homepage: http://www.logix.cz/michal Index: linux-2.6.11/arch/xen/i386/Kconfig
