What's the status on this upstream? I don't see it in xen-unstable yet, should we be pushing it to FC5/6 yet? The last reply from upstream was: > Now that we have rx copy path the transfer grants are obsolete anyway. Maybe > we should just limit usage to domain-0 and be done. > > -- Keir I'll send an updated patch that just restricts this to dom0. We don't support I/O domains in FC6/RHEL5, right?

Restrict grant table operations to dom0.
I just sent this path to Keir.
Yes, we do --- we compile in pcifront/back, and I have tested a NIC driver from domU for FC6. If we do then we'll need to stick with the earlier patch which restricted operations to I/O domains instead of dom0. This patch is now in FC6/RHEL5 as well as upstream. Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6 are, as we're sure you've noticed, no longer test releases. We're cleaning up the bug database and making sure important bug reports filed against these test releases don't get lost. It would be helpful if you could test this issue with a released version of Fedora or with the latest development / test release. Thanks for your help and for your patience. [This is a bulk message for all open FC5/FC6 test release bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.] change QA contact Since this seemed to make it into FC6 eventually, closing as CURRENTRELEASE |
