Subject: [PATCH] minios: Fix bug when blkfront reading into zero-mapped buffer
Date: Tue, 29 Jan 2008 14:12:20 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080129141220.GA16376@implementation.uk.xensource.com> (raw)
minios: Fix bug when blkfront reading into zero-mapped buffer
by just poking the page.
No need to use virtual_to_mfn() for the ring since that is a real page.
