Increasing the default reservation won't please everyone, since not everyone will want dom0 to be 'robbed' of 384M! It's also a bit specific to this particular situation. Relying on p2m being roughly 1:1 is a bit gross but, if it helps, we could change the debug code to swap adjacent pairs of pages, rather than reversing the entire p2m map? Then it would still happen that low pseudophys addresses have low machine addresses? It's kind of nasty though. Perhaps really we should have the crash path in Linux print a message advising to specify dom0_mem= to Xen? -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
