Re: [Xen-devel] how to read value from xenstore inside kernel

[Kuriakose Mathew <kmathew123@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi ,

I have been trying to use to xenbus_read.

I added the below code in netback.c , static void net_tx_action(unsigned long unused) function.

char * test;
const char *nodename = "console";
test = xenbus_read(XBT_NIL, nodename, "limit", NULL);

It is compiling fine. But when the kernel is crashing at this point during runtime.
I expect to read the /local/domain/0/console/limit , which I am able to read from shell using 

xenstore-read . Am I missing something ?

Thanks 
Mathew

I recommend you get acquinted with 'cscope' and run under your linux directory this
command: 'make cscope' to create the cscope files. Then look for xenbus_scanf.

Yes, if you have all of the #include files set right.
