Hello

I was wondering what the frame_list array holds. From what I have seen
in domain.c and other files, it seems like it holds an array of struct
pfn_info* for every machine page that is allocated to a domain. Is
this correct?

However, when I try to traverse the array from xen through all the
machine pages that are allocated to a domain (alloc_start thro'
alloc_end right-shifted by PAGESHIFT), I see that I cannot dereference
all pages (the machine reboots when I dereference some pfn_info's)!
Also, I observed that the inuse.type in these pfn_info's is not
exclusively PGT_L1 or PGT_L2 type. So I guess I am not reading the
right pfn_info's but I'm kind of clueless as to what's going on here.

Is there another way to traverse thro' the machine pages allotted to a domain?

Any suggestions/pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
Pradheep.
