[Xen-devel] Linux 2.6.39 - what Xen components went in.

[Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Linus is probably going to release v2.6.39 soon-ish so I figured I would
update everybody on what went in (and a lot did).

The features that ultimately went in are:
 - Netback (drivers/net/xen-netback). This is a big accomplishment since it
   means that stock v2.6.39 has now a full stack to run guests (the QEMU qdisk
   can serve as blkback backend).
 - PVonHVM can now use PV spinlocks.
 - /dev/gntalloc, which is a driver that can be used from userspace to allocate
   pages to be shared with guests.
 - Xen Watchdog driver (/dev/watchdog) which has the same API as any watchdog 
driver.
 - 1-1 identity mapping in P2M. Allows us to automatically figure out if
   a page is for an I/O hole or not based on the E820 (means certain drivers 
work now)
 - IRQ code has been reworked to be dynamic so that we are not limited to 
running 
   155 guests.
 - Making the balloon driver ready for memory hotplug patches and gntalloc.
 - Lots and lots of cleanup patches.

Bugs that were fixed:
 - Handling of guests events has become round-robin, hence fixing the starvation
   issue of later guests not having their services served.
 - Save and Restore works now.
 - Bootup crashes that occurred only if you had some CONFIG_ defined and some 
not.
   (Which had been in the tree since .. oh 2002?). Finally resolved.
 - Usual merge window bugs. The resolution of some took way too long.
 - Bug fixes in xen-kbdfront, xen-netfront, xen-pcifront, and xen-blkfront.
 - Bug fixes also in Xen IRQ, Xen P2M, and in Xen E820 handling.
 - and many more...

The feature that was going and, but had to be reverted was:
 - Making the TTM layer use the DMA API. This would have allowed us to use the
   radeon/nouveau driver under Xen without trouble.
