In blkback driver, after I/O requests are submitted to Dom-0 block I/O subsystem, blkback goes to ''sleep'' effectively without letting blkfront know about it (req_event isn''t set appropriately). Hence blkfront doesn''t notify blkback when it submits a new I/O thus delaying the ''dispatch'' of the new I/O to Dom-0 block I/O subsystem. The new I/O is

Moving grant ref handles from blkbk to pending_req will allow us to get rid of the shared blkbk structure.

With the introduction of indirect segments we can receive requests with a number of segments bigger than the maximum number of allowed iovecs in a bios, so make sure that blkback doesn't try to allocate a bios with more iovecs than BIO_MAX_PAGES Signed-off-by: Roger Pau Monné <roger.pau@citrix.com> Cc: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> ---

This patch implements persistent grants for the xen-blk{front,back} mechanism. The effect of this change is to reduce the number of unmap operations performed, since they cause a (costly) TLB shootdown. This allows the I/O performance to scale better when a large number of VMs are performing I/O. Previously, the blkfront driver was supplied a bvec[] from the request queue. This was granted to

Hi, One of our colleagues spotted a problem in xentop. Sometimes the VBD_WSECT value suddenly becomes unreasonably high, and it turned out xentop reads /sys/bus/xen-backend/devices/vbd-(domid)-(devID)/statistics/wr_sect into an unsigned long long. That value is exposed by blkback, and among other stat counters, it''s a signed integer: drivers/block/xen-blkback/common.h struct

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

I am proposing these two patches for 3.2. They allow the backend to process the REQ_FUA request as well. Previous to these patches it only did REQ_FLUSH. There is also a bug-fix for the logic of how barrier/flushes were handled. The patches are based on a branch which also has ''feature-discard'' patches, so they won''t apply nativly on top of 3.1-rc5. Please review and

Just moving a chunk of files from one filesysstem on xvba to another on xvdb, and was monitoring with xentop as it was taking longer than expected. The VBD_RD and VBD_WR counters were both clocking-up as expected, as was the VBD_RSECT counter, but the VBD_WSECT counter was stuck on zero, I toggled on the individual VBD device counters and these showed the same (with the RD and WR counters

Hey Jens, Please in your spare time (if there is such a thing at a conference) pull this branch: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git stable/for-jens-3.10 for your v3.10 branch.

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.
