From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Tim Deegan Subject: [PATCH 0 of 4] RFC: Nested-p2m cleanups and locking changes Date: Wed, 22 Jun 2011 17:10:26 +0100 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: xen-devel-bounces@lists.xensource.com Errors-To: xen-devel-bounces@lists.xensource.com To: xen-devel@lists.xensource.com Cc: Christoph Egger List-Id: xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org This patch series tidies up a few bits ofthe nested p2m code. The main thing it does is reorganize the locking so that most of the changes to nested p2m tables happen only under the p2m lock, and the nestedp2m lock is only needed to reassign p2m tables to new cr3 values. Unfortunately I'm having terrible trouble trying to run Xen under Xen to test these, so this version of the series is only compile-tested. I'm just posting them for feedback from Christoph on whether this approach seems reasonable. Cheers, Tim.
