RE: [Xen-ia64-devel] [Patch] Speculative Load/Store to IO memory

Hi, Anthony

Thank you for yor comments.

>From the patch, guest executes ld.s on physical mode.
>Is this a cacheable address(region 0) or un-cacheable address(region 4)?
No, this guest work on virtual mode. My patch is for virtual mode.
This address is 0xa0000000fee00018.
When we found the isssue, arguments of mmio_access() are
 (f000000007980000, fee00018, f000000007987d80, 4, 4, 1), 
so I think it is un-cachable.

Is cheking ma=4 better?

Thanks.
This issue is difficult to reproduce,
because we don't know step to reproduce.
