Could it be possible that xen is in log_dirty_mode when a DomU is
immigrating into it ?
    

No; and if it were it wouldn't matter since the domain being migrated
into isn't running.

Cheers,

Tim.

  
I just want to make the faulted page and its following
pages writable and marked as dirty after a write_protect
page_fault. The function "sh_prebuild" is called in the
sh_page_fault() right before sh_prefetch():

---------------sh_page_fault()-----------------

if ( ( shadow_mode_log_dirty(v->domain) )
&& ( ft == ft_demand_write ) )
sh_prebuild(.......);

..............

I got problems when I migrate. The code can successfully
migrate the domainU to another UNMODIFIED Xen. But when I
migrate a domainU from UNMODIFIED Xen back to this MODIFIED
Xen, the domU's clock is frozen, I use "xm console" to get
in domU's console, but I just got about 6 TSC error messages
and no other respond.

I am using 32-bit PV domain, no-PSE.
Does someone know any reasons? Thanks.
