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

[Kuriakose Mathew <kmathew123@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks James.
I will try to get the crash message but not how to get it in a file. When I restart the system after making the change, it gets rebooted at this point. So I have to find a way to get those message displayed while a system is booting. I ll try to get it.

Also regarding 'watch' , it is called when the value of key changes but if I want to read some value which is static then will this help?
Not sure if I am right.

Not sure how much this helps, but you should not be re-reading from
xenbus every time a packet is sent. That would involve huge per-packet
overheads. You can read it initially and then set a 'watch' on the value
to get notified every time it changes.

Have you got a copy of the crash message?
