From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com> When disk is a cdrom and the drive is empty the "params" node in xenstore might be missing completely: cope with it instead of segfaulting. Updated in v2: - actually removed the strchr(blkdev->params, '':'') that caused the segfault; - free all the allocated strings from xenstore before returning;

This commit delays the point at which bdrv_new (and hence blk_open on the underlying device) is called from blk_init to blk_connect. This ensures that in an inbound live migrate, the block device is not opened until it has been closed at the other end. This is in preparation for supporting devices with open/close consistency without using O_DIRECT. This commit does NOT itself change O_DIRECT

Hello! I was asking for help on the Freenode channel, and I was pointed here. I have a situation where, using xl, I can create a functional PV domU, with or without pv-grub, but I cannot access the console. Firing up xend and using xm works without trouble. Since xend and company is being deprecated, I would like to transition to using the xl toolstack. The system is an Arch Linux system

We need to detach the blkdev from the BlockDriverState before calling bdrv_delete.

While for the "normal" case (called from blk_send_response_all()) decrementing requests_finished is correct, doing so in the parse error case is wrong; requests_inflight needs to be decremented instead.

The xenbus bus type uses device_create_file to assign all used device attributes. However it does not remove them when the device goes away. This patch uses the dev_attrs field of the bus type to specify default attributes for all devices.

Hi all, this is the long awaited patch series to add xen device model support in qemu; the main author is Anthony Perard. Developing this series we tried to come up with the cleanest possible solution from the qemu point of view, limiting the amount of changes to common code as much as possible. The end result still requires a couple of hooks in piix_pci but overall the impact should be very

qemu-xen: ignore console disconnect events for console/0 The first console has a different location compared to other PV devices (console, rather than device/console/0) and doesn''t obey the xenstore state protocol. We already special case the first console in con_init and con_initialise, we should also do it in con_disconnect. This patch should be applied to 4.1 too. Signed-off-by:

Hi, The sanity check which refuses write access to disks configured read-only is at the wrong place. This patch fixes it. please apply, Gerd _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

(Sorry, lost Keir''s mail). I''m unclear on why we have to have the mapping part of solving the xendev problem. Can''t we just allocate a transaction as usual if we see an ID without a transaction existing, mark it as pre-fail, and when we see the transaction end, discard the copy as if it had raced? Surely the ID lookup is guaranteed to fail in the circumstances we care

This series fixes an issue where disks of 1 TiB or more cannot be added to a xen guest. The problem lies in the xen backend driver using a 32 bit integer xenstore interface to write the number of sectors corresponding to the file or device that represents the virtual disk. The first patch adds 64 bit integer write functions to the xenstore interface. The second patch fixes the xen backend driver

Hey, I just started noticing it today - with qemu-xen (tip is commit b97307ecaad98360f41ea36cd9674ef810c4f8cf xen_disk: mark ioreq as mapped before unmapping in error case) when I try to pass in a PCI device at bootup it blows up with: char device redirected to /dev/pts/2 (label serial0) qemu: hardware error: xen: failed to populate ram at 40050000 CPU #0: EAX=00000000 EBX=00000000

Hi, For virtio block device, actually there is no a hard limit for max request size, and virtio_blk driver set -1 to blk_queue_max_hw_sectors(q, -1U);. But it doesn't work, because there is a default upper limitation BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS (1280 sectors). So this series want to add a new helper blk_queue_max_hw_sectors_no_limit to set a proper max reqeust size. Weiping Zhang (2): blk-setting:

Doing this would reliably fail with -EBUSY for me: # mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/scratch; umount /mnt/scratch; mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb2 ... unable to open /dev/sdb2: Device or resource busy because mkfs.btrfs tries to open the device O_EXCL, and somebody still has it. Using systemtap to track bdev gets & puts shows a kworker thread doing a blkdev put after mkfs attempts a get; this is left over
