Patrick,
when should p2m_mem_paging_populate() get called?
Currently there is a mix of p2m_is_paged and p2m_is_paging in
xen-unstable. The latter would mean that any of the paging states will
reset the flag to p2m_ram_paging_in_start. Well, unless its
p2m_ram_paging_out which is checked in p2m_mem_paging_populate itself.
I could prepare a patch to convert all callers to if p2m_is_paged() then
p2m_mem_paging_populate().
My guess is that the busy loop I see in my testing is caused by some
race where p2mt is reset to p2m_ram_paging_in_start so that xen itself
doesnt make any progress after a while. I'm currently debug that sort of
hang.
Olaf
