[PATCH 0/4] V2, Move stuff out of xenfs

[PATCH 0/4] V2, Move stuff out of xenfs

[Bastian Blank]

In <20100605162947.GA31336@wavehammer.waldi.eu.org> I started the
discussion about xenfs and the usage of it. This is the second try to
move stuff over into normal device drivers.

Changes:
- Remove guest_capabilities stuff. It is only used to detect if the init
  scripts should start anything.
- Fix error values.

[PATCH 1/4] xen: Add privcmd device driver

[Bastian Blank]

Access to arbitrary hypercalls is currently provided via xenfs. This
adds a standard character device to handle this. The support in xenfs
remains for backward compatibility and uses the device driver code.

[PATCH 3/4] xen: Add xenbusd device driver

[Bastian Blank]

Access for xenstored to the event channel and pre-allocated ring is
managed via xenfs.  This adds its own device driver featuring mmap for
the ring and an ioctl for the event channel.

In principal this could be its own module which does not depend on any
of the backend stuff but I think this is fine for now.

"Could not register xenbus backend device" to distinguish from the f.e.
failure message, you could also add "frontend" there I suppose. Other
than that:

You've forgotten the S-o-b for this patch.

Once upon a time this was used by the ia64 privcmd support[0] but since
no one appears to be working on ia64 dom0 support for upstream I'm not
sure if this is an issue or not. I lean towards "not", this can always
be put back as necessary.

I had a few nit picks about error messages but otherwise I'm happy with
this.

How are we doing on the corresponding toolstack changes?

I even think about registering this device from xenstored_local_init in
xenbus_probe.c. Then it will be available only if the kernel also owns
the communcation ring.

Yep.

Will someone mind if I rename this device to xenbus_backend? It's more
clear.

I have at least parts of it somewhere on my workstation. I'll polish and

That sounds like a good idea.

It's ok by me. You could even use "xenstored"?

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to register character devices from a
postcore_initcall. Isn't this function called a bit early anyway?

You still don't say why this is needed in the commit messages.  I can't
find the message you refer to in the previous thread (the mail archives
don't let you search by message-id).

I assume the toolstack will fall back to xenfs if the devices don't exist?
