USB backend and XenBus

USB backend and XenBus

[Mark Ryden]

Hello,

   I wonder why USB backend does not use XenBus. (in xen unstable).
   
   Network  backend and Block backend do use XenBus. 

   And USB backend seems to have much in common with them. (Rings,
event channels,etc).

   Is it a task to be done in the future, or is there some
architectural or other

  reason that  XenBus will not be used by USB backend  at all ? 

  Can someone elaborate on it in 2-3 sentences (or more, if he likes) ? 

   TIA,
       MR

Hi Mark,

The USB stuff will use the Xenbus / Xenstore stuff once it's been updated.  
It's just not been switched over yet.  This'll go in the same time as the 
Linux 2.6 USB virtualisation support is added (the current drivers won't work 
in 2.6).

Cheers,
Mark
