Thread-topic: [Xen-devel] Documentation For Writing a Split Driver
> I've spent the last few weeks digging around in Xen code and old
> documentation to produce my own simple split driver for 3.0.4-2 to
> handle some logging stuff that I'm doing.  In the process, I quickly
> discovered that the Wiki documentation for adding a new driver to Xen
is
> a little lacking.  Is there any interest in me documenting any/all of
> the following and contributing it?
> -Creating a backend/frontend skeleton driver and adding it to the
kernel.
> -Modifying xend and xm to initialize the XenStore for it.  (and hence
> get the probe functions to be called)
> -Setting up event channels
> -Setting up a ring buffer
> -Sharing memory pages between domains (basically the grant tables)

"yes please" to all of the above!
Thanks,
Ian
