Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] Re: [PATCH][RFC]Provide fast write emulation pathtorelease shadow lock
Hi, Tim and Kevin,
    I used the changeset 16704 to take the stability test, and at that 
changeset, vmxassist=y is the default. Later I used the Xen3.2 test tree to 
have a test, it met the same issue, that is, windows guest would be blue 
screen, and linux guest would pop up some call trace. Also Dom0 will pop up 
some call trace too. My test environment is 

First guest (Linux):  kernel build;
Second guest (Linux): network copy;
Third guest (Windows): Sysmark 2007;

In dom0, I did local migration to the three guest.

Tim, could you tell me what's the test case and test environment (changeset) 
when you take the stability test? Then I may use your environment to test 
Kevin's patch. Thanks very much!

Best Regards, 
Xu Dongxiao

Can you try building Xen with "vmxassist=y" on the make command-line?

Cheers,

Tim.
