[Xen-devel] Linux 2.6.39 - what Xen components went in.
Linus is probably going to release v2.6.39 soon-ish so I figured I would update everybody on what went in (and a lot did). The features that ultimately went in are: - Netback (drivers/net/xen-netback). This is a big accomplishment since it means that stock v2.6.39 has now a full stack to run guests (the QEMU qdisk can serve as blkback backend). - PVonHVM can now use PV spinlocks. - /dev/gntalloc, which is a driver that can be used from userspace to allocate pages to be shared with guests. - Xen Watchdog driver (/dev/watchdog) which has the same API as any watchdog driver. - 1-1 identity mapping in P2M. Allows us to automatically figure out if a page is for an I/O hole or not based on the E820 (means certain drivers work now) - IRQ code has been reworked to be dynamic so that we are not limited to running 155 guests. - Making the balloon driver ready for memory hotplug patches and gntalloc. - Lots and lots of cleanup patches. Bugs that were fixed: - Handling of guests events has become round-robin, hence fixing the starvation issue of later guests not having their services served. - Save and Restore works now. - Bootup crashes that occurred only if you had some CONFIG_ defined and some not. (Which had been in the tree since .. oh 2002?). Finally resolved. - Usual merge window bugs. The resolution of some took way too long. - Bug fixes in xen-kbdfront, xen-netfront, xen-pcifront, and xen-blkfront. - Bug fixes also in Xen IRQ, Xen P2M, and in Xen E820 handling. - and many more... The feature that was going and, but had to be reverted was: - Making the TTM layer use the DMA API. This would have allowed us to use the radeon/nouveau driver under Xen without trouble.

Great work everyone. :) I assume this means that drivers/block/xen-blkback.c is the last major milestone to be pushed upstream? Joseph.

But having blkback would make it at least ok to test for some longer period :-) -- Sander _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Then xen block backend (so drivers/block/xen-blkback/*) is going through review on LKML? Or are you asking about the QEMU one (hw/xen_disk.c, aka ''qdisk'' implementation)?. If that is the case I direct you to http://darnok.org/xen/qdisk_vs_blkback_v3.1 (and take a look at the nice little png files). _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
