![]() The balloon driver in a Xen guest frees guest pages and marks them as mmio. When the kernel crashes and the crash kernel attempts to read the oldmem via /proc/vmcore a read from ballooned pages will generate 100% load in dom0 because Xen asks qemu-dm for the page content. Since the reads come in as 8byte requests each ballooned page is tried 512 times. With this change a hook can be registered which checks wether the given pfn is really ram. The hook has to return a value > 0 for ram pages, a value < 0 on error (because the hypercall is not known) and 0 for non-ram pages. This will reduce the time to read /proc/vmcore. Without this change a 512M guest with 128M crashkernel region needs 200 seconds to read it, with this change it takes just 2 seconds.
