Subject: [PATCH 0 of 9 RFC] blktap3: Introduce a small subset of blktap3 files
Date: Fri, 16 Nov 2012 18:25:40 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <patchbomb.1353090340@makatos-desktop> (raw)

blktap3 is a disk backend driver. It is based on blktap2 but does not require
the blktap/blkback kernel modules as it allows tapdisk to talk directly to
blkfront. This primarily simplifies maintenance, and _may_ lead to performance
improvements. This patch series introduces a small subset of files required by
blktap3. blktap3 is based on a blktap2 fork maintained mostly by Citrix (it
lives in github), so these changes are also imported, apart from the blktap3
ones.
