2012-04-27xen/xenbus: Add quirk to deal with misconfigured backends.Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk
commit 3066616ce23aad5719c23a0f21f32676402cb44b upstream. A rather annoying and common case is when booting a PVonHVM guest and exposing the PV KBD and PV VFB - as broken toolstacks don't always initialize the backends correctly. Normally The HVM guest is using the VGA driver and the emulated keyboard for this (though upstream version of QEMU implements PV KBD, but still uses a VGA driver). We provide a very basic two-stage wait mechanism - where we wait for 30 seconds for all devices, and then for 270 for all them except the two mentioned. That allows us to wait for the essential devices, like network or disk for the full 6 minutes. To trigger this, put this in your guest config: vfb = [ 'vnc=1, vnclisten=0.0.0.0 ,vncunused=1'] instead of this: vnc=1 vnclisten="0.0.0.0" Acked-by: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com> [v3: Split delay in non-essential (30 seconds) and essential devices per Ian and Stefano suggestion] [v4: Added comments per Stefano suggestion] Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
2011-03-16xen: use freeze/restore/thaw PM events for suspend/resume/chkptShriram Rajagopalan
Use PM_FREEZE, PM_THAW and PM_RESTORE power events for suspend/resume/checkpoint functionality, instead of PM_SUSPEND and PM_RESUME. Use of these pm events fixes the Xen Guest hangup when taking checkpoints. When a suspend event is cancelled (while taking checkpoints once/continuously), we use PM_THAW instead of PM_RESUME. PM_RESTORE is used when suspend is not cancelled. See Documentation/power/devices.txt and linux/pm.h for more info about freeze, thaw and restore. The sequence of pm events in a suspend-resume scenario is shown below. dpm_suspend_start(PMSG_FREEZE); dpm_suspend_noirq(PMSG_FREEZE); sysdev_suspend(PMSG_FREEZE); cancelled = suspend_hypercall() sysdev_resume(); dpm_resume_noirq(cancelled ? PMSG_THAW : PMSG_RESTORE); dpm_resume_end(cancelled ? PMSG_THAW : PMSG_RESTORE); Acked-by: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Shriram Rajagopalan <rshriram@cs.ubc.ca> Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
