Hi all, I add a blkback QoS patch. You can config(dynamic/static) different I/O speed for different VM disk by this patch. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- diff -urNp blkback/blkback.c blkback-qos/blkback.c --- blkback/blkback.c 2011-06-22 07:54:19.000000000 +0800 +++ blkback-qos/blkback.c 2011-06-22 07:53:18.000000000 +0800 @@ -44,6 +44,11 @@

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 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

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

This patch contains fixes for persistent grants implementation v2: * handle == 0 is a valid handle, so initialize grants in blkback setting the handle to BLKBACK_INVALID_HANDLE instead of 0. Reported by Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk. * new_map is a boolean, use "true" or "false" instead of 1 and 0. Reported by Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk. * blkfront announces the

I just noticed that the linux block backend does not copy the full 64 bits of the id field of a request to the associated response. The blkif.h states that this is echoed in the response. An unsigned long in make_response is used as an intermediary. This would sure be helpful to me if the full 64 bits were echoed. - Bruce Rogers _______________________________________________ Xen-devel

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

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

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. Sorry for being so late with this. <blurb> It has the ''feature-max-indirect-segments'' implemented in both backend and frontend. The current problem with the backend and

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