Re: [Xen-devel] Scheduler problem in XEN 3.4.0

[George Dunlap <George.Dunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Pankaj,

I haven't used the round-robin scheduler code in that book, but
another guy named Ananth tried to use it unsuccessfully as well.  You
can see some of that thread here (not sure why I can't find the
original post):
 http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-devel/2009-05/msg00004.html

Most of us are not so interested in finding the bug in the books'
code, but we are interested in helping *you* find it.  If you continue
to do hypervisor work (and especially if you do anything with the
scheduler), you're going to have to learn how to debug a hypervisor,
which is often rather a pain in the neck.

There is some advice in the thread linked to above about setting up a
serial console.  You can add printk()'s around to find out what the
sched_rr code is doing and where it's going wrong, and ask more
questions on the list if you get stuck.  (Feel free to cc me to bring
it to my attention, but always send it to the whole list.)

Good luck,
 -George
