FWIW, I was able to successfully boot PV domU guests while using Xen 4.0.2-rc2-pre and
2.6.37-rc7 from the git repo
The problem I encountered was the lack of netback support. Couldn't get any
network interfaces to come up. Whoops :) Otherwise it seemed fine, but I didnt
run the guests very long.
Hope that helps!

Hello. Does linux kernel 2.6.37 suitable to run under xen in PV mode?
Does it has now any bugs or regressions?

I know that at least 64MB is used for SWIOTLB (which you don't need - you can disable that since you are not doing any PCI passthrough), 6MB for kernel + kernel data. The "memblock=debug" will give you the details to figure out who else is eating the big swaths of memory. Is this also a problem if you boot the guest as HVM? What happens if you boot your PV guest without 'maxmem=4096' and .. oh, I think I know why this is happening = the kernel allocates pagetables as if you have 4GB of memory and that eats much of low memory. If you decrease the 'maxmem' you should see a smaller amount being used. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 16+ messages in thread

I understand this. Does xen PVM 2.6.37 have any features that can be disabled to free memory? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 16+ messages in thread

Why don't you run this through | grep memblock, then awk - extract those regions .. something like this: grep memblock | serve_range:// | sed s/\\[// | sed s/\\]// | sed s/-/\ / | awk --non-decimal-data ' { a=$2;b=$1;printf "%s %s\n", a-b, $3 } that should give you an idea what is eating what memory. For example NODE_DATA looks to be eating a bunch of 20 pages (20*4096)= 81920 bytes. thought later on it free's some of them. > > [ 0.000000] Initializing cgroup subsys cpuset > [ 0.000000]

Also what is the memory consumption when you boot Linux as HVM guest? You MUST have the same amount of memory in both guests, so try the test with mem=512 maxmem=512 for both HVM and PV. What is the difference in the log console when you use memblock=debug? Do you see any big differences? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 16+ messages in thread

FYI, I've seen a similar problem with 2.6.37 but noticed it when manually ballooning a PV guest. For example: # echo $((256*1024)) > /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target_kb should reduce memory to 256M (or at least somewhere close) but instead /proc/meminfo shows 217812 kB, or about 15% lower than expected. This looks like approximately the same percentage of memory loss that Vasiliy is reporting on boot. /me wonders if it might be related to this thread: http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2010-09/msg00987.html assuming the related patch got upstream. Jeremy cc'ed just in case. I do NOT see this issue with 2.6.35.4. In fact, I now see a MemTotal boot-time difference when I boot both with mem=512 (in vm.cfg): 2.6.35.4 kernel shows 506864, 2.6.37 shows 495456. Not as much as Vasiliy reports, but still a big mystery. If this problem is real and widespread, I hope nobody is comparing KVM vs Xen (or Xen vs native) on 2.6.37 as that much memory loss could result in a significant performance loss for a Xen guest.
