Re: [Xen-devel] blkif shared ring
hi Samuel-
Would you please explain what do you mean by "using the whole buffer page"?
Parallax (project of University of British Columbia) modified XEN by allocating an additional shared ring page in the blkback driver. Probably one of options?
thanks, ~Sam

Compared to disk speeds, it is almost a bottleneck nowadays. In mini-os, I could achieve almost native performance, but that was by using the whole buffer page. When disk will get faster, one page won't be enough.
