[Xen-devel] Unstableness in grant table block drivers

[Anthony Liguori <aliguori@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We've experienced a lot of problems in the new grant table-based block
drivers.  It's exposing itself in a number of ways.  I've seen it stop
working after working for a bit, sometimes XenU stops half-way through
boot, and on one system init panics because it can't find a root
filesystem.

Grant table block drivers are now the default config option in
xen-unstable even though it's marked as experimental.  Perhaps it should
not be default until it gets a bit more stable?

I know the last week's been really busy, but in the future, it would be
nice if a big destabilizing change like this could get announced on
xen-devel so we could be on the look out for these sort of bugs.

Thanks,
