Subject: Question on save/restore mfn canonicalization
Date: Fri, 28 Sep 2007 12:25:28 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <46FD2AF8.30107@cs.toronto.edu> (raw)
While exploring the paravirt save/restore code path, I noted a
(seemingly) lack of consistency between where/who canonicalizes
something and who un-canonicalizes. For example, the guest kernel
canonicalizes the store and console mfn's in pre_suspend, but
xc_domain_restore uncanonicalizes them before scheduling back the
restored guest.
The question is if there is a mandatory reason for this, or is just the
way the code was written. Can I, e.g, fill the
pfn_to_mfn_frame_list(_list) entries from "outside" and remove that code
from post_suspend, or will something break?
Thanks!
Andres
