Subject: [GIT PULL] xen: fixes for 4.19-rc4
Date: Fri, 14 Sep 2018 18:25:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180914162531.16740-1-jgross@suse.com> (raw)

Linus,

Please git pull the following tag:

 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/xen/tip.git for-linus-4.19c-rc4-tag

xen: fixes for 4.19-rc4

It contains some minor cleanups and fixes and:

- a new knob for controlling scrubbing of pages returned by the Xen
  balloon driver to the Xen hypervisor to address a boot performance
  issue seen in large guests booted pre-ballooned

- a fix of a regression in the gntdev driver which made it impossible
  to use fully virtualized guests (HVM guests) with a 4.19 based dom0

- a fix in Xen cpu hotplug functionality which could be triggered by
  wrong admin commands (setting number of active vcpus to 0)

One further note: the patches have all been under test for several days
in another branch. This branch has been rebased in order to avoid merge
conflicts.


Thanks.

Juergen
