From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Subject: [RFC PATCH] Xen blkback for 2.6.40. Date: Mon, 18 Apr 2011 13:57:43 -0400 Message-ID: <1303149464-875-1-git-send-email-konrad.wilk@oracle.com> Return-path: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: xen-devel-bounces@lists.xensource.com Errors-To: xen-devel-bounces@lists.xensource.com To: xen-devel@lists.xensource.com List-Id: xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org I am proposing this patch for 2.6.40. This is an RFC at this point. The git tree for this specific patch is git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git devel/xen-blkback-v3.squashed (the full tree is devel/xen-blkback-v3) Please take a look at the patch. I know that I need to rewrite the description to have more details for the upstream community - and that will be shortly supplied. Any thoughts on what I should address/remove/augment/etc would be appreciated. And whether the code has any obvious pitfalls? The code was originally lifted from 2.6.18, then ported to 2.6.32, and now I have backported it to 2.6.38/.39. scripts/checkpatch.pl had been applied and also some re-ordering of the code has been done to make it easier to read.
