Hi, everyone. I wrote a module using xen''s grant mechanism to realize a share memory function between domU and dom0. The module in domU side can be compiled but can not be inserted using "insmod". The error message shows that some xen grant mechanism function is not defined. my opinion 1) do i need a pv-domU kernel, then the xen grant mechanism is included? 2) compile the xen module into the kernel( please kindly tell me how to do this) -- View this message in context: http://xen.1045712.n5.nabble.com/module-in-domU-tp4424653p4424653.html Sent from the Xen - Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

There is a gntdev and gntalloc in 2.6.39 you can use that will do this.

The question of whether gary''s functionality belongs in kernel or userspace is a valid one, but not one we can answer with the info given.> > The module in domU side can be compiled but can not be inserted using > > "insmod". > > The error message shows that some xen grant mechanism function is not > > defined.Which functions specifically are mentioned.
