Hi everyone: 
I am reading code of live migration process of hvm domain now.My question is that I can't find the transformation position that transform hvm domain‘s gpfn to mfn.That is,the method ,in file xc_linux_osdep.c, linux_privcmd_map_foreign_bulk( xc_interface *xch, xc_osdep_handle h, uint32_t dom, int prot, const xen_pfn_t *arr, int *err, unsigned int num) ,the list of xen_pfn_t contains the list of guest's mfns(gpfns in xen),for para-virtualization guests they are thransformed by the pfn_to_mfn() before assignment(in xc_domain_save()),for hvm guests however,I can not find a similar conversion process,they are directly conveyed to the dom's kernel directly without any transformation.So I continued to follow the process,finding the following key functions: 
privcmd_ioctl (struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long data) 
->privcmd_ioctl_mmap_batch(udata, 2) 
->-> traverse_pages(mmapcmd.num, sizeof(struct privcmd_mmap_entry), &pagelist, mmap_mfn_range, &state); 
Still no clue for the thransformation process,could you give any sugguestions? 
My second question is that is it possible that I give a list of hvm's mfns(not gpfns) and then get the contents held in memory in dom0?Does xen have any function of this kind? 
Thank you all! 
Jone
