[Xen-ia64-devel] [Patch] improve response time at creating a guest

[Akio Takebe <takebe_akio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

When I create a guest having large memory,
Some guests could not get network response for several seconds.
The issue is caused by xencomm_privcmd_memory_reservation_op().
To improve the response time, the attached patch reduces
MEMORYOP_MAX_EXTENTS.

Best Regards,

Akio Takebe
