This isn't something I understand, but bisect tells me this

This seems work for me, but I've not got time to give it a more thorough testing. You can fold this into your series.

Hi, I tested nutdrv_qx additions, introduced by @zykh, for a couple of months now and changed only small things. You can reach the repository via [1]. Please review the item_t array (starting at [2]) and give me feedback, or change it directly. Missing is the complete documentation, which I'm trying to get time for since the last six months, but I don't. Best, Nick [1]

Dont support 'MAP_SYNC' with non-DAX files and DAX files with asynchronous dax_device. Virtio pmem provides asynchronous host page cache flush mechanism. We don't support 'MAP_SYNC' with virtio pmem and ext4.

This patch adds the necessary Xen specific code to allow Xen to support the CPU halting and kicking operations needed by the queue spinlock PV code.
