Hi<BR>
<BR>
So far, I did some preliminary testing using nested virt:<BR>
<BR>
host(L0): Fedora 25, kernel-4.9.11-200, kvm+qemu<BR>
<BR>
Guest(L1): CentOS 7 Xen-4.6.3-7, kernel-4.9.11-22<BR>
<BR>
So far, at least the L1 setup had no issues. I'll need to pull L1 <BR>
guest-storage from backup to test some L2 guests.<BR>
<BR>
Likewise, I try to allocate two blades at work for tests on real <BR>
metal. Our standard-tests include starting CentOS-5/6/7 guests and <BR>
migrate them around. I hope to get this done next week, but I need <BR>
company approval for that, which seems doable, as we use Xen4CentOS in <BR>
production :)<BR>
Running diverse CentOS versions and some Windows Server guests and <BR>
being capable of migrating the whole shebang around from machine to <BR>
machine is our daily use case. That includes PV, HVM+PV and PVHVM <BR>
guest types, which is pretty comprehensive to me.<BR>
<BR>
Let me know, if you are interested in more detailed <BR>
settings/setup/tests and I will see, what I can run.<BR>
<BR>
Rest assured, that this work is much needed and appreciated. We run <BR>
almost 1000 virtual machines on about 70 blades using Xen4CentOS since <BR>
day 1. This new kernel gives us the latest drivers in Dom0, something <BR>
which is highly desired, as we are seeing issues occasionally, like <BR>
bnx2x oops-ing on broadcom 10G interfaces.<BR>
<BR>
Regards,<BR>
Thomas<BR>

I have pushed some new kernels and linux-firmware packages to the<BR>
xen-testing repos for both CentOS-6 and CentOS-7. The CentOS-7 packages<BR>
may take a few hours to make it to the repo.<BR>
<BR>
The CentOS-6 repo also contains a newer xfsprogs as that is required<BR>
with newer kernels (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1314605).<BR>
<BR>
This kernel (and supplementary xfsprogs, linux-firmware) are scheduled<BR>
to be the replacements for the 3.18.x LTS tree that has gone EOL from<BR>
Kernel.org. We can maintain the 4.9 LTS tree until January 2019<BR>
(https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html).<BR>
<BR>
We have added in blktap2 support to this kernel, please test that<BR>
functionality if you need it, it seems to be working to me.<BR>
<BR>
We really need people to test this kernel and associated packages<BR>
thoroughly so we can find and fix issues before release.<BR>
<BR>
Please post any issues or questions on this list.<BR>

OK, just tagged 4.9.13-22.el7 (and .el6) to the testing repos for xen on<BR>
c6 and c7 as this fixes the new dccp kernel issue.<BR>
<BR>
Only have one person reporting good tests so far. We need more testing<BR>
or we risk to breaking people's systems when we release later.<BR>
