search for: last_sect

Am I right in saying that first_sect & last_sect in blkif_request_segment are the relative sector numbers in the transfer? So if I wanted to transfer 9 sectors starting at 100, the resultant contents of the request would look like: req->sector_number = 100 req->seg[0].first_sect = 0 req->seg[0].last_sect = 3 req->seg[1].first_sect =...

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

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

I accidentally realized today that any domU''s using the paravirt disk driver potentially suffer from poor performance when they get handed in a physical volume and partitioning is done inside the guest. The physical volume passed in has to be one that has the compat 512 logical sector size but hints its real sector size (eg. 4096) as physical sector size. In dom0 handling is correct and

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 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 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
