RE: [Xen-devel] Dom0 restartability
Assuming the applications can tolerate EAGAIN errors and the guest
VM’s front end keep returning EAGAIN for the period of dom0 going down
and coming back up, the drivers don’t need to move to Xen/other domain. Also
if we have a driver domain which I understand is restartable, how is the
pending IO handled ?.
Thanks,
-SK.

Subject: Re: [Xen-devel] Dom0 restartability
Am I correct in believing that
the majority of IO for all domains passes through the DOM-0 kernel? I would
think that a huge number of IO drivers would need to move into Xen in order to
allow this without severe IO disruption. Are there methods of disk / network IO
that do not rely on DOM-0?

Thanks Pasi, I am sure there are other things as well. I am
looking for any pointers listing the work done in that area.

Restarting dom0 requires for example moving xenstored out of dom0..
so you don't lose the database when you restart dom0.
