On the ES7000 when Dom0 boots up with all of system memory and you try
to bring up a DomU with more than 2GB of memory, xend times out before
the memory is freed causing the domain not to be created. This patch
increases the timeout depending on the amount of memory that needs to be
freed. It also places a cap on the sleep time so that it does not grow
without a limit. This fixes bug# 650

Advantages include backward-compatibility regarding old guests when

This patch calculates the overhead needed for HVM domains. If HVM is
supported by the hardware, I add a little ballooning overhead to
paravirtualized VMs also, to avoid low-memory situations. (There are
various unchecked alloc_domheap_pages calls in shadow*.c that I am
trying to avoid tripping over for now...) The values in this patch work
fine on 32 bit; I may update them later based on feedback and/or testing
on 64 bit.

When a domain (whether para- or fully-virtualized) reports how much
overhead memory it requires (via getDomainMemory in image.py), all such
memory was immediately allocated to the domain itself. This is
certainly incorrect for HVM domains, since additional
increase_reservation calls are made later in qemu. Since all ballooned
memory is already taken, qemu will fail. The fix is to treat the
requested memory size and the overhead size as separate values. The
requested memory size is immediately allocated to the new domain; the
overhead is left unallocated for whatever else might need it later.

Instead of passing the 'live' parameter to the migration methods, this
'network' parameter is passed now. This ends up being merely a renaming
of the parameter.
A check with the xm-test suite against this change has resulted in no

In the Xen 2.0.x compatibility section of xend (where we try to parse

2.0.x), the wrong variable is referenced. This fix corrects the python

Xend functionality is performed in the process executed from the

drive image or a TPM, to be migrated to a remote machine. The patch
hooks into the checkpointing (XendCheckpoint.py) code and performs
migration in 4 different steps:
In a 1st step (step = 0 in the code) migration of all devices of a
domain is 'tested', that means their driver implementations (blkif.py,
netif.py, tpmif.py, usbif.py, pciif.py) are queried whether migration is
possible at all. Currently all device representations respond with a
'yes' (=0), although probably a VM mounting a hard drive partition
should respond with a 'no' (-1) already. This first step is a quick
check to see whether devices can be migrated.
The 2nd step is to do whatever can be done before the domain is
suspended. At this point migration of the device could be initiated, if
at all possible.
The 3rd step is to migrate a device after the domain has been suspended,
meaning that it is not scheduled anymore and the VM is 'settled'. All
devices are called again and a good implementation would initiate the
migration in a background process to achieve as much concurrency as
possible.
The 4th step is to synchronize with the 3rd step. At this point the
implementor has to make sure that anything that was initiated in step 3
has completed. Once all steps 4 have been processed, the VM will resume
on the remove machine.
I have implemented hooks for migration of a virtual TPM in
xen/xend/server/tpmif.py. These hooks call a configurable external
migration tool using the os.popen() call with a fixed command line
parameter set. The implementation refuses to migrate a VM attached to a
virtual TPM if no tool has been provided for migration.
All other devices do not currently overload the 'migrate' method defined
in the DevController.py and therefore will just let migration happen.
I have added hooks for error recovery such that whatever part of
migration has been initiated can be rolled back when any of the devices
fail to migrate in one of the steps. The interface (in tpmif.py) to the
external application now uses os.popen() to allow error handling by
reading the application's output.

file. If that is not specified, then xm will pass the XAUTHORITY
environment variable back to xend instead. This is not sufficient,
since it is possible that XAUTHORITY is not set at all. This doesn't
cause a problem for most X apps, because xlib will use the fall-back of
$HOME/.Xauthority. But the viewer is started from xend, which almost
certainly doesn't have a reasonable HOME variable.
We fix this by always passing some value for
XAUTHORITY. In order of preference, that value is:
1. Use the value from the config file, if specified.
2. Use the value from the XAUTHORITY env variable, if set.
3. Use $HOME/.Xauthority, if HOME is set.
4. Look up the user's home directory via getpwuid, and append
"/.Xauthority"
