Hello Jeremy,
Jeremy Fitzhardinge schrieb:
Well, my current pvops/dom0 tree is finally (reasonably) stable. There
was a fairly nasty bug which ended up corrupting dom0 memory when doing
IO on behalf of domains, but that is finally fixed.
In honour of this, I've renamed the rebase/* branches to xen/* (moving
the old remaining xen/* branches to xen-old/*); xen/master is now the
preferred branch for fetching current dom0 work.
The kernel tree is fairly featureful:
 * basic dom0 support
 * blkback
 * netback
 * ACPI power management
 * S3 suspend/resume (at least for some people)
 * microcode update
 * MSI support
In other words, it has as much as it ever has.
waited for MSI, will give it a try :o)
There are a few notable missing features:
 * blktap2
 * netchannel2
 * pci front/back
 * upstream Linux support
 * your pet feature
Full coordinates are:
 git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git xen/master
Is HEAD already pointing to xen/master or do i have to change branches?
See http://wiki.xensource.com/xenwiki/XenParavirtOps for general
directions on configuration, compilation and use.
I think it would be a good idea to add some backtrace and debug related options to the CONFIG_ options listed on the wiki page so that one gets all the details needed from the testers when some bug shows up (CCd Pasi). The NETXEN_NIC option looks unrelated to xen...
This is definitely a work-in-progress kernel. I'd appreciate all bug
*and* success reports so I can get some idea of how many people are
using this thing, and how often there are problems. Patches gratefully
accepted.
Will report something back soon,
Marc
