How can this be?Hey Steven, Sorry about late response - was on paternity leave (and is a bit this week). I am CC-ing the xen-devel on this. I tried it and the numbers do seem to increment on my side. You were looking at the blkif numbers right? Is this with a 2.6.18 guest or a 3.2?> > - Steven

Congrats! :) It''s a Linux 3.2 dom0 (I believe it''s untouched vanilla) and Linux 3.2 domU (Ubuntu 12.04 beta, with 3.2.0-based Ubuntu kernel, PV). And yes, blkif-backend. It''s strange, because I/O seems to happen just fine (and it''s definitely not going through QEMU, since it''s a PV guest and the devices are clearly registered as VBDs), but the interrupt counts are frozen.
