From f10cd522c5fbfec9ae3cc01967868c9c2401ed23 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefano Stabellini Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2011 17:41:47 +0100 Subject: xen: disable PV spinlocks on HVM PV spinlocks cannot possibly work with the current code because they are enabled after pvops patching has already been done, and because PV spinlocks use a different data structure than native spinlocks so we cannot switch between them dynamically. A spinlock that has been taken once by the native code (__ticket_spin_lock) cannot be taken by __xen_spin_lock even after it has been released.

The patch "xen: use maximum reservation to limit amount of usable RAM" (d312ae878b6aed3912e1acaaf5d0b2a9d08a4f11) breaks machines that do not use 'dom0_mem=' argument with: reserve RAM buffer: 000000133f2e2000 - 000000133fffffff (XEN) mm.c:4976:d0 Global bit is set to kernel page fffff8117e (XEN) domain_crash_sync called from entry.S (XEN) Domain 0 (vcpu#0) crashed on cpu#0: ... The reason being that the last E820 entry is created using the 'extra_pages' (which is based on how many pages have been freed). The mentioned git commit sets the initial value of 'extra_pages' using a hypercall which returns the number of pages (if dom0_mem has been used) or -1 otherwise. If the later we return with MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES as basis for calculation: return min(max_pages, MAX_DOMAIN_PAGES); and use it: extra_limit = xen_get_max_pages(); if (extra_limit >= max_pfn) extra_pages = extra_limit - max_pfn; else extra_pages = 0; which means we end up with extra_pages = 128GB in PFNs (33554432) - 8GB in PFNs (2097152, on this specific box, can be larger or smaller), and then we add that value to the E820 making it: Xen: 00000000ff000000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) Xen: 0000000100000000 - 000000133f2e2000 (usable) which is clearly wrong. It should look as so: Xen: 00000000ff000000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) Xen: 0000000100000000 - 000000027fbda000 (usable) Naturally this problem does not present itself if dom0_mem=max:X is used.

This avoids the (as Jeremy points outs) somewhat ugly NULL-based calculation here.
