Hi, i can''t find documentation about the flipping or copying options in the xennet module. I wanted to try the copying, because i read it''s newer and better then flipping method. I''m using the RHEL5 xen version, kernel-xen-2.6.18-8.1.10.el5 xen-3.0.3-25.0.3.el5 (should be a 3.0.3 plus a big backport of 3.0.4) domU dmesg says netfront: device eth0 has flipping receive path. netfront: device eth1 has flipping receive path. netfront: device eth2 has flipping receive path. and in Dom0 i can see xenstore-ls /local/domain/37/device/vif/2 backend-id = "0" mac = "00:16:3e:ed:22:3e" handle = "2" state = "4" backend = "/local/domain/0/backend/vif/37/2" tx-ring-ref = "1551" rx-ring-ref = "1552" event-channel = "16" request-rx-copy = "0" feature-rx-notify = "1" feature-sg = "1" feature-gso-tcpv4 = "1" where request-rx-copy = "0" should be the "flipping" thing I tried from dom0 to xenstore-write /local/domain/37/device/vif/2/request-rx-copy 1 and this worked on domain 37 vif 2, at least on the output of xenstore-ls /local/domain/37/device/vif/2 backend-id = "0" mac = "00:16:3e:ed:22:3e" handle = "2" state = "4" backend = "/local/domain/0/backend/vif/37/2" tx-ring-ref = "1551" rx-ring-ref = "1552" event-channel = "16" request-rx-copy = "1" feature-rx-notify = "1" feature-sg = "1" feature-gso-tcpv4 = "1" now the value is 1!! but in domU dmesg doesn''t say anything. i was wondering if there is a way to pass the copying option to the module, like with modprobe.conf or something like that, just to be sure that i''m really benchmarking the right thing. -- Maurizio Rottin This e-mail is confidential and is for the intended recipient only.
