Abstract: Communication endpoints associated with a virtual machine for migration can be discovered. Properties associated with the communication endpoints can be discovered. The communication endpoints can be matched to establish a communication channel between the endpoints. The communication endpoints, the properties and the at least one communication channel can be used in recreating the communication channel for a migrated version of the virtual machine.

Abstract: A server LPAR operating in a virtualized computer shares pages with client LPARs using a shared memory region (SMR). A virtualization function of the computer receives a get-page-ID request associated with a client LPAR to identify a physical page corresponding to a shared page included in the SMR. The virtualization function requests the server LPAR to provide an identity of the physical page. The virtualization function receives a page-ID response comprising the identity of a server LPAR logical page that corresponds to the physical page. The virtualization element determines a physical page identity and communicates the physical page identity to the client LPAR. The virtualization element receives a page ID enter request and enters an identity of the physical page into a translation element of the computer to associate a client LPAR logical page with the physical page.

Abstract: A server logical partition (LPAR) of a virtualized computer includes shared memory regions (SMRs). The SMRs include pages of the server LPAR memory to share with client LPARs. A hypervisor utilizes an export vector to associate logical pages of the server LPAR with SMRs. The hypervisor further utilizes a reference array to associate SMRs with client LPARs that have mapped at least one physical memory page of the SMR from a logical page of the client LPAR memory. In processing an operation to unmap one or more shared physical pages from one or more LPARs, the hypervisor uses the export vector and reference array to determine which LPARs have had a mapping to the physical pages.

Abstract: System, method and computer program product for supporting a plurality of Access Control List types for a file system in an operating system in a data processing system. An Access Control List supporting system for managing access to a file system in a data processing system has at least one file system in an operating system of the data processing system, and an Access Control List management framework in the operating system and external to the at least one file system for managing access to the at least one file system. The Access Control List supporting system of the invention removes ACL management and access check-related functions from the at least one file system to an external Access Control List management framework, thus enabling an operating system to support a plurality of Access Control List types using the same Access Control List management framework and enabling new Access Control List types to be added to the operating system dynamically while the operating system is running.
