Hi,alls

I'm modifying the source code of xen-4.4.1. Specifically, I'm modifying the
memory copy part of snapshot. I first put all memory pages to write
protection, and then rewrite the write protection exception part of the
code. After capture the exception  then save the memory page , and all
memory page copy is complete, call the function xenaccess_teardown(xch,
xenaccess), but there is a mistake:

libxl: error: libxl_utils.c:396:libxl_read_exactly: file/stream truncated
reading ipc msg header from domain 3 save/restore helper stdout pipe
libxl: error: libxl_exec.c:129:libxl_report_child_exitstatus: domain 3
save/restore helper [-1] died due to fatal signal Segmentation fault (core
dumped)
Failed to save domain, resuming domain

Has anyone ever meet this kind of problem, and who can tell me the cause of
the error.

Thanks

I'm also working on a similar thing - can you please tell me how you copy
the memory pages from one part of the memory to another?

I'm modifying the source code of snapshot,in the function xc_domain_save()
of xc_domain_save.c,through calling wrexact() to copy the memory pages to
the local dist.

I'm not sure if it is the answer you wang.

Without knowing exactly what you have changed, probably not.

Ian.

Not to mention that the new migration code you'll find in the code
branches that Ian mentioned, is most likely going to be better
structured and easier to understand and modify.

That is now 3 Xen releases ago.

I suggest that if you want help with new developments you should target the
master branch in xen.git (which is targetted becoming 4.7) or as an
absolute minimum the latest release branch (stable-4.6).

A lot has changed WRT migration and related technologies in the 4.6
release, working on new functionality for such things against 4.4 at this
is not of much interest to the community I'm afraid.

Ian.

Please try using grep to search for relevant strings inside
tools/libx{c,l} and ask more specific questions.

Hi,alls

I 'm modifying the source code of snapshot in xen-4.4.1. I know the memory
copy and cpu state copy are all in xc_domain_save.c--xc_domain_save().

But I don't sure where is the device state copy. Who can tell me the
position of device copy in source code.

Thanks
