some questions about the new blktap2 module

Hi, all:
    I have some questions when read the code of the new blktap2 module. One
is  in function tapdisk_vbd_map_device ( ) . In this function , the
userspace proccess tapdisk2 used ioctl like this :  
     ioctl(ring->fd, BLKTAP_IOCTL_SETMODE, BLKTAP_MODE_INTERPOSE);
>From the context , we can get that "ring->fd " is the file handle of the
ring-device  [/dev/xen/blktap-2/blktap[minor] ]  . In the blktap2 driver
codes , I find that blktap_ring_ioctl() didn't implement the
BLKTAP_IOCTL_SETMODE ioctl case . I used xen-unstable code package and
linux-2.6.18-xen-3.4.2 code package. 
So my question is : 
1,  Is blktap2 code in xen-unstable not match with linux-2.6.18-xen-3.4.2 ? 
2,  Any body used VHD disk with blktap2 ?
 
Thanks ,
Lyman Van

Hello,

Afaik blktap2 is not yet ready/working on pv_ops dom0 tree
(xen-unstable uses pv_ops dom0).

Jeremy can possibly comment more about the status of blktap2.

答复: [Xen-devel] some questions about the new blktap2 module

[fanliang]

Thank you a lot for your attention . 
I got the dom0 kernel source code from xensource.com, and I don't know whether it's the same with  pv_ops dom0 source tree .  I'm wondering that how can people use VHD devices under the new blktap2 if he use SUSE11 as dom0 , whose kernel is 2.6.27 .  In my mind,  the new blktap2 module is developed matching with kernel 2.6.18 . For example, blktap2 includes lots header files from  linux-2.6.18. Is this right ?

That's the tree xen-unstable automatically fetches/uses.

SLES11 2.6.27 Xen dom0 kernel is forward-ported from 2.6.18-xen. 
I'm not sure if Novell ported blktap2 aswell.

No, that tree pre-dates blktap2. Newer kernels of ours have it, but the
2.6.27 tree isn't expected to ever get it added.

Re: some questions about the new blktap2 module

[fanliang]

I see. 
>From  /pub/scm / linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git / tree    I can see that the new kernel tree discard the old blktap source files , instead by the new blktap2 files. 
Thanks again.

I've got it to the stage where I can start a domain and it can access 
its disk, but the tapdisk process consumes 100% of the CPU and throws 
kernel oopses when you terminate the domain...

The 2.6.27 XCP and XCI trees on xenbits both have blktap2.

Oh, XCP tree is now online?
