I am currently developing a blkfront.c for a custom OS over Xen 3.0.2-2. Typical I/O is working, however, I ran into an error while testing a corner case. On standard I/O, where { 1 <= nr_segments < BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST } blkif_int()''s bret->status returns BLKIF_RSP_OKAY. Yet when { nr_segments == 0 } blkif_int''s bret->status is non-zero. (Yes

...It never bothers to send the I/O completion response back to the blktap kernel driver when a failure occurrs. Fortunately the fix for this is also simple. Instead of returning from the callback when dealing with an error, we simply toggle the status field for the pending response to BLKIF_RSP_ERROR and then continue with the normal codepath. So the error eventually gets back to the guest. The scenario I used to discover the problem and test the patch is thus: - In dom0 create a filesystem with only 200 MB of free space - Create a 1 GB sparse file on this volume. - Configure the g...

When I submitted the qcow2 patch for blktap, suggestions came up that the qemu block drivers should be used also for blktap to eliminate the current code duplication in ioemu and blktap. The attached patch adds support for a tap:ioemu pseudo driver. Devices using this driver won''t use tapdisk (containing the code duplication) any more, but will connect to the qemu-dm of the domain. In

Dear list, This is the V4 of the trim support for xen-blkfront/blkback, Now we move BLKIF_OP_TRIM to BLKIF_OP_DISCARD, and dropped all "trim" stuffs in the patches, and use "discard" instead. Also we updated the helpers of blkif_x86_{32|64}_request or we will meet problems using a non-native protocol. And this patch has been tested with both SSD and raw file, with SSD we will

Patrick, there following patches fix xenpaging for me. Granttable handling is incomplete. If a page is gone, a GNTST_eagain should be returned to the caller to inidcate the hypercall has to be retried after a while, until the page is available again. Please review.

This patch series copies the core of the tapdisk process from blktap2, with updates coming from blktap2.5. Signed-off-by: Thanos Makatos <thanos.makatos@citrix.com>

This patch series introduces the shared ring used by the front-end to pass request descriptors to tapdisk, as well as responses from tapdisk to the front-end. Requests from this ring end up in tapdisk''s standard request queue. When the tapback daemon detects that the front-end tries to connect to the back-end, it spawns a tapdisk and tells it to connect to the shared ring. The shared

This patch series implements the Linux Xen guest in terms of the paravirt-ops interface. The features in implemented this patch series are: * domU only * UP only (most code is SMP-safe, but there's no way to create a new vcpu) * writable pagetables, with late pinning/early unpinning (no shadow pagetable support) * supports both PAE and non-PAE modes * xen console * virtual block

Unlike full virtualization in which the virtual machine provides the same platform interface as running natively on the hardware, paravirtualization requires modification to the guest operating system to work with the platform interface provided by the hypervisor. Xen was designed with performance in mind. Calls to the hypervisor are minimized, batched if necessary, and non-critical codepaths
