Hi all, the main issue with stubdoms at the moment is that the new dma api does not support an upper limit for the number of sectors in a single dma transfer. This means that block-vbd can issue blkfront_aio transfers that exceed the blktap limit BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST. The attached qemu patch makes block-vbd split any request bigger than the limit above. The small xen patch is also needed to change struct blkfront_aiocb. Signed-off-by: Stefano Stabellini
