question to reporter or xen user space guys: do RHEL5 guests recover from failed saves fine?

Comment 5 XinSun 2010-07-19 07:46:26 UTC
I try this on rhel5 pv guest, when doing save failure on rhel5.5 pv guest, this guest can run normally and I can do other operation in this guest.

Comment 6 XinSun 2010-07-19 10:16:57 UTC
Retest it again, this issue occurs on i386 platfrom.

Comment 7 Michal Novotny 2010-07-19 13:16:39 UTC
Andrew: Yeah, now it does. From the xend.log I was seeing "errno 28" which is failure because of low disk space which is change because for me I saw "errno 0" for RHEL-5 i386 guest. Nevertheless, the RHEL-5 i386 guest I tested was working successfully when resumed from the failed save (at least according to my testing). This was tested on x86_64 RHEL-5 host.

Also, the "arch/x86/xen/enlighten.c:169" in the call trace is present only in the recent pv-ops kernels like you told me... Could what's present on line 169 in this file of RHEL-6 kernel then?

Thanks,
Michal

Comment 8 Andrew Jones 2010-07-20 06:53:10 UTC
It looks like we may need to fix this in the rhel6 kernel, possible also a change in the rhel5 HV. In any respect it's too late for 6.0 to fix this as it's an error path and not a critical blocker. Moving to kernel component and slating for 6.1.

This would be fixed by suspend cancellation, we are not going to fix it in the guest.
