Good morning, hope the day is going well for everyone.
The patches to fix the blktap2 issues which result in orphaned
tapdisk2 processes and the transitory deadlock on guest shutdown
didn''t make it into the 4.1.3 release. Updated patches to address
these problems are available at the following location:
ftp://ftp.enjellic.com/pub/xen/xen-4.1.3.blktap1.patch
ftp://ftp.enjellic.com/pub/xen/xen-4.1.3.blktap2.patch
The patches are designed to be applied in order and have been verified
to work against the 4.1.3 release.
Best wishes for a productive week.

You should also CC Ian Jackson since he is the one who does the tools backports. The changelog should be clear about the backport status. IIRC one of these is a backport from unstable (so the changelog should say of which commit and preserve the original S-o-b) and the other is a reimplementation since too much has changed in unstable so there is no plausible backport (and the changelog should mention this). Ideally these mails would be threaded with subjects "[PATCH 1/2] ..." and "[PATCH 2/2] ..." so that it is obvious that there is a sequence to them. A tool such as hg email will do this for you. http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Submitting_Xen_Patches has some hints on how to use it. If nothing has changed since the previous posting it may be sufficient to reply to that previous postings with a "ping" message and CC Ian there. Ian.

My target audience was primarily focused on other groups, like ours, which are rolling their own XEN implementations and who needed blktap2 functionality. I know I''ve spent tons of time trying to ferret out the patches to get a solid implementation for our needs. So I wanted to get something which would get indexed so, hopefully, people would find this when they need it. Based on the number of downloads I see for the kernel patches and the toolstack fixes there seems to be a sizable audience.... :-) I shipped off the patches just before 4.1.3 was released and copied Ian and Keir on them but I haven''t seen them show up in the xen-4.1-testing.hg Mercurial tree. Ian/Keir do you want another round of the patches?> Ian.Best wishes for a productive week. Greg }-- End of excerpt from Ian Campbell As always, Dr. G.W.
