That's cool. I'll go read up on XtreemOS before I ask stupid questions... > > What more needs to be added to this list? > > By the way, there are potential synergies between container checkpointing > work and the need of the VM to have something like per cpuset of per > container swap (as explained in the VM BoFS at OLS, there are unnecessary > OOMs with a common swap). Ah, cool, I hadn't heard that. At the risk of really exploding the # of container subsystems needed to be composed in order to do checkpoint/restart, this does sound like a separate container subsystem which just attaches a swapfile to it's tasks might then be a useful thing. It can then be composed with a cpuset or a freezer subsystem, or both (at the same time - separately might be weird :). I guess then for checkpoint we just freeze the subsystem, force a write of all dirty pages using something like Dave's patch, somehow create a copy-on-write clone as the checkpoint, then unfreeze. (and oh yeah, checkpoint all the other crap too :) > Regards, > Erich thanks, -serge ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
