Thank you for the testing.





Most of features passed to testing on Xen 4.9 RC4, RAS and nested has
some bugs.



RAS:

1.  xen-mceinj tool testing cause dom0 crash

2.  CPU online/offline fail, Luwei is fixing it:
https://www.mail-archive.com/xen-devel@lists.xen.org/msg108660.html


I would recommend to tag the patch with for-4.9 + CC me if this is a regression
and you would like the patch to be included in the next release.



It's a regression from Xen 4.8 to Xen 4.9. Yes, I'd like the patch be merged in 
next release.
The patch author Luwei already sent out v4, is it fine to reply the patch with 
"[PATCH v4 for-4.9]" ?


I would also mention it in the e-mail explaining why you want it for Xen 
4.9.


Cheers,

We will, mostly maybe for next release or the 4.9 final release version if we 
have update data.

Nested:

Nested is worse although we know it’s an experimental feature. Only Xen
on Xen works, others hybrid such as KVM on Xen, hyperV on Xen, VMware on
Xen all fail.

The status is same as Xen 4.8 rc2.

Would it be possible to update the wiki with Xen 4.9 rc4?

We performed Xen 4.9 RC4 testing on Intel Xeon Skylake, Broadwell, Haswell 
server platforms, verified many functional features on Xen 4.9. We'd like to 
share the result out.

works, others hybrid such as KVM on Xen, hyperV on Xen, VMware on Xen all fail.
The status is same as Xen 4.8 rc2.
