I think it is safe to say that the blkback/blkfront still have some
serious bugs to be fixed even in the absences of grant tables.
Exporting more than a couple of block devices to VMs will eventually
cause domUs to stop receiving block I/O. I hope to have time to create
a scenario that works quicktly and with a sufficiently small
configuration that you'll be able to reproduce it there. To date I've
only tried it with a fairly large number of LUNs.
Developers using xen here periodically have to re-boot their machines
as a result. They can't reproduce it consistently (thankfully), but
they're typically only using 7-10 VBDs.
