Subject: [PATCH 17/16] xenpaging: notify policy only on resume
Date: Wed, 3 Nov 2010 20:24:13 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101103192413.GA32377@aepfle.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20101102223010.603002116@aepfle.de>
If a page is requested more than once, the policy is also notified more
than once about the page-in. However, a page-in happens only once. Any
further resume will only unpause the other vcpu. The multiple notify
will put the page into the mru list multiple times and it will unlock
other already resumed pages too early. In the worst case, a page that
was just resumed can be evicted right away, causing a deadlock in the
guest.
