While I can see why it is causing problems for you, avoiding clearing the page only hides the problem; it doesn't solve it. Amongst other things, avoiding clearing the page could result in qemu binding to the wrong event channels. Without sending the other IO emulation state, leaving stale ioreqs in the rings is dangerous. All of this comes as a result of attempting to performs actions (i.e. migrating an essentially unpaused VM) outside of the original designed usecase, and you are going to have to do more than just avoiding cleaning these pages. ~Andrew > >> + break; >> + } >> + >> + rc = xc_set_hvm_param(xch, ctx->domid, entry->index, >> entry->value); >> + if ( rc < 0 ) >> + { >> + PERROR("set HVM param %"PRId64" = 0x%016"PRIx64, >> + entry->index, entry->value); >> + return rc; >> + } >> + } >> + return 0; >> +} >> +
