Re: [Fedora-xen] Xen dom0 (core) merged to upstream Linux 2.6.37 and other new features

Hello, People here might be interested to know that Xen pvops dom0 core was merged to upstream Linux kernel during the 2.6.37 merge window! This has been in the works for a long time, so it's good news. Note that this is the core/initial merge, there's more upstreaming needed to get for example the Xen dom0 backend drivers merged to be able to run other domains using the upstream kernel. Xen developers are working on upstreaming more of the missing bits in the next Linux versions. Recently in addition to the Xen dom0 bits there has been other upstreamed features aswell: - Xen PV-on-HVM drivers for fully virtualized (HVM) Linux guests in 2.6.36, and optimizations for the drivers in 2.6.37. - Xen PCI front driver in Linux 2.6.37 for PCI passthru to Xen PV guests (works also with hardware where VT-d/IOMMU is not available). There will also be a git kernel tree based on 2.6.37 with the backend drivers and other not-yet-upstreamed patches included. -- Pasi -- xen mailing list xen(a)lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xen
