Otherwise, the dirty log information is lost in the kernel forever.

Fixes opensuse-12.1 boot screen, which changes the vga windows
rapidly.

Confirmed, problems solved here.

Problem from:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/131853

Confirmed to be fixed, too. Long awaited patch :-)

Sorry, I forgot about that.  Please ping me if I do that.


BTW: There is also a major difference in video performance:
1.) With Patch: 1400MB/s (MByte/s)
2.) Without Patch: 6MB/s

Any reason for that?

What are you measuring exactly?

I'm measuring VGA video performance under DOS with own written test
program.

What's strange, new findings: Measurement doesn't depend on the patch.
Sometimes it is high sometimes low. I think I have to investigate
further.

Any ideas?

What vga mode are you using?  What does the test program do?

DOS Test programs, source and binaries can be found at:
http://www.wiesinger.com/opensource/qemu/

1.) Measures page A000:0000 with videomode 4F02, see:
http://www.wiesinger.com/opensource/qemu/memperf.c

2.) Second test program measures setting and getting video bank, see:
http://www.wiesinger.com/opensource/qemu/int10per.c
We already talked about the low performance some time ago and tracked it down to kernel <=> userspace switching. But I benchmarked it already once and I think there are some optimizations possible (linear list search) with mapping functions (e.g. trivial hash function before)

Thnx.

Ciao,
Gerhard
