Hi, I was trying to convert a virtual adrress in a HVM guest to the MFN. I tried using vmalloc_to_pfn(virt_address) and then passed the resulting pfn to VMM through a hypercall. Inside the VMM I tried calling gfn_to_mfn(pfn) with pfn receieved from hypercall. This function always gave me INVALID_MFN error (~0UL). When I replaced the vmalloc_to_pfn with virt_to_pfn(virt_address) I am getting some MFN value returned by gfn_to_mfn. Just to make sure, I passed the value to gmfn_to_mfn and I am getting the same value as returned by gfn_to_mfn. Now my questions: 1. What is the difference between vmalloc_to_pfn and virt_to_pfn (apart from the fact that one is linux kernel function and the other is xen function) ? 2. Is there a way to verify/conform whether the MFN is correct ? _SDK _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
