Xen devel - Aug 2010 - Merging the aufs git tree within the Linux 2.6.32.18 from Jeremy...

Guys,

 I really need the AUFS kernel module within the Linux 2.6.32.18 from
Jeremy''s tree... How can I do this?!
 The aufs: http://aufs.sourceforge.net/

 The Jeremy''s tree that I''m using is for xen-4.0.1.

Thanks!
Thiago

Hi!

 Let me try to explain myself better...

 Can someone help me compile the Linux kernel module AUFS, with the default
Linux from of xen-4.0.1, the Linux-2.6.32.18 with PVOPS dom0?

 I''m working on new version of the Xen Live DVD and this module is the
only
missing piece to do a new release soon, this new version has been completely
remodeled, entirely a new job!

 I see that the "make prep-kernels" command download the Linux using
Git,
and the AUFS is a Git repository too so, can I merge them using Git?


 Linux 2.6.32.18 from Jeremy''s tree (make prep-kernels) in sync with
xen-4.0.1.tar.gz (http://xen.org):

 git clone -o xen -n git://
git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.gitlinux-2.6-pvops.git.tmp


 The AUFS web page (the Git address is there):

 http://aufs.sourceforge.net

 http://git.c3sl.ufpr.br/pub/scm/aufs/aufs2-2.6.git<http://git.c3sl.ufpr.br/gitweb?p=aufs/aufs2-2.6.git;a=summary>
 ?


 I appreciate any help!

Thanks!
Thiago

There''s a big fat readme which describes the procedure...

Essentially you checkout Jeremy''s 2.6.32.x tree.

$ git clone ..
$ git checkout --track origin/xen/stable-2.6.32.x

Branch from that again, to, say, my/xen-2.6.32/aufs

$ git checkout --track origin/xen/stable-2.6.32.x
$ git branch my/xen-2.6.32/aufs
$ git checkout my/xen-2.6.32/aufs

You add a remote which points to the aufs-2.6 tree, fetch it, and merge
aufs2-32 into that branch

$ git remote add aufs2 http://git.c3sl.ufpr.br/pub/scm/aufs/aufs2-2.6.git
$ git fetch aufs2
$ git merge aufs2/aufs2-32

I didn''t try it. Good luck.

Daniel

>From what I understand, there''s a version of aufs2 already merged
with the
kernel code:
http://git.c3sl.ufpr.br/pub/scm/aufs/aufs2-2.6.git<http://git.c3sl.ufpr.br/gitweb?p=aufs/aufs2-2.6.git;a=summary>

And there''s also a standalone version:
http://git.c3sl.ufpr.br/pub/scm/aufs/aufs2-standalone.git<http://git.c3sl.ufpr.br/gitweb?p=aufs/aufs2-standalone.git;a=summary>

If the kernel version you''re trying to use is not the same of the
version
with the full merge, you may download the standalone git repo and merge it
yourself into any kernel you want - since aufs supports such kernel version.

To do the merge is kinda simple. Go to the kernel''s local git repo, and
type:

git remote add aufs_repo /path/to/aufs_code
git pull aufs_repo master

It will merge the aufs code into the current kernel code.
