of course.
the attachment is the dom0 kernel compile config that fix the problem.
I don't know the exact config option which cause the problem, so I
don't test 2.6.18.8 with debug.you can compare it with the previous
config to find the differences.
Here are my test results:
test tool: iperf-2.0.4
command:
root@xxxxxxxxxxx : iperf -s
root@xxxxxxxxxxx : iperf -c 10.250.6.25 -i 1 -t 100
network performance:
xen4.0+kernel2.6.31.13(with debug):
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth
[ 4] 0.0- 9.5 sec 249 MBytes 219 Mbits/sec
xen4.0+kernel2.6.31.13(without debug):
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth
[ 4] 0.0-100.0 sec 10.7 GBytes 920 Mbits/sec
xen3.4.2+kernel2.6.18.8(without debug):
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth
[ 4] 0.0-15.0 sec 1.64 GBytes 941 Mbits/sec
xen4.0+kernel2.6.18.8(without debug):
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth
[ 4] 0.0-16.3 sec 1.79 GBytes 941 Mbits/sec
