[kvm-devel] [PATCH 0/3] add support for dynamicly allocation of mmu pages.

2007-08-18 Thread Izik Eidus
this patch make kvm dynamicly allocate memory to its mmu pages buffer. untill now kvm used to allocate just 1024 pages ( 4MB ) no matter what was the guest ram size. beacuse the mmu pages buffer was very small alot of pages that had correct information about the guest pte, had to be released.

2007-08-18 Thread Izik Eidus
simply change kvm.h to work with the new lists and with blocks of 1MB please note that the KVM_MMU_PAGES_DIVIDER is the magic, it control on how much % memory will be allocated to the mmu pages, KVM_MMU_PAGES_DIVIDER = 100 mean 1% KVM_MMU_PAGES_DIVIDER = 50 mean 2% --- kvm.h 2007-08-15

2007-08-18 Thread Dor Laor
The idea to shift/share mmu cache memory between guests is great. You do need to take care of proper inter vm locking (kvm_lock lock, don't mix the kvm-lock). Combining the idea with LRU replacment algorithm and a rebalance timer for the mmu cache can be a winning combination. -- Dor. Btw: Later

[kvm-devel] Vista/rtl8139 broken?

Hi, I've been using ne2k with BSD/Linux/WindowsXP just fine with KVM-35/2.6.23-rc2, but when I try to run Vista, which doesn't support the ne2k any more, I tried switching to the rtl8139 emulation. I observed that the rtl8139 emulation works fine in WindowsXP, so it's not broken. But it does
