Subject: design questions: blktap & dom0-kernel/Xen binary compatibility
Date: Mon, 04 Feb 2013 18:45:39 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <510FF3C3.9070601@hfp.de> (raw)
I have two design questions:
a) is there some doc on binary compatibility between dom0-kernels and
Xen/xen-tools? For example Xen 4.2.1 on my system does not work with
xenified OpenSuse 12.2 kernel, while it seems to work with vanilla 3.7.
I am interested in some kind of compatibility matrix having various
kernels (pvops0, xenified, with versions) on one axis and Xen releases
on the other axis. Also having some info about reasons for
breakage-by-design would be helpful.
b) is there some doc/info on what is going on with blktap[1,2,3]? I am
specifically interested in underlying (design) questions, for example
why blktap was not migrated to vanilla kernel 3.x?
Regards Andreas
