[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] [PATCH 4/5] x86/pv: Drop support for paging out the LDT
Windows is the only OS which pages out kernel datastructures, so chances are
good that this is a vestigial remnant of the PV Windows XP experiment.
Furthermore the implementation is incomplete; it only functions for a present
=> not-present transition, rather than a present => read/write transition.
The for_each_vcpu() is one scalability limitation for PV guests, which can't
reasonably be altered to be continuable.
One side effects of dropping paging out support is that now, the LDT (like the
GDT) is only ever modified in current context, allowing us to drop
shadow_ldt_mapcnt and shadow_ldt_lock from struct vcpu.
Another side effect is that the LDT no longer automatically cleans itself up
on domain destruction. Cover this by explicitly releasing the LDT frames at
the same time as the GDT frames.
Finally, leave some asserts around to confirm the expected behaviour of all
the functions playing with PGT_seg_desc_page references.
