Hi sahil: I think the reason why you cannot get page shared is due to the gref you got. Gref is responsible for a page allocated from domU, in my understanding it should not be 0, that is a gref 0 can not be shared, that''s why I skip gref 0 to be nominated. The gref is nominated to Xen and later used to find a corrspond MFN, so it shall not always b...

...ff both ends have this ability, persistent mode is used. To perform a read, in persistent mode, blkfront uses a separate pool of pages that it maps to dom0. When a request comes in, blkfront transmutes the request so that blkback will write into one of these free pages. Blkback keeps note of which grefs it has already mapped. When a new ring request comes to blkback, it looks to see if it has already mapped that page. If so, it will not map it again. If the page hasn''t been previously mapped, it is mapped now, and a record is kept of this mapping. Blkback proceeds as usual. When blkfront...

Porting the pvSCSI backend driver to the pvops kernel is turning out to be a bit harder than first thought, mostly because all the Linux routines that might be useful are written with the assumption that they would be passed a mapped buffer and they would then build an sg list out of that. pvSCSI already has an sg list, and all the routines that it makes use of have been deprecated since 2.6.18

Hi, I need to use the grant table mechanism, but I can''t find any example regarding how to do it. Could you please provide some examples? Thanks Carlo -- È molto più bello sapere qualcosa di tutto, che sapere tutto di una cosa.

Dear List, I?m trying to figure out *memory page sharing***using HVM on Xen 4.0.1, but I?m not really able to find some useful information or sources about this issue.

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

The following two patches allow the parallel use of memsharing, xenpaging and xen-access by using an independent ring buffer for each feature. Please review. v2: - update mem_event_check_ring arguments, check domain rather than domain_id - check ring_full first because its value was just evaluated - check if ring buffer is initialized before calling mem_access_domctl/mem_paging_domctl
