Hi Wei, could you please explain why/how you would have done the project
differently now and why these patches are not "good"? From my conversation
with Linda, I understood that her code is "Independent of virtio except the
9pvirtio specific code, which is used extensively."
I need to implement a xen transport for 9pfs. Linda was essentially
doing the same. But she didn't specify the canonical protocol between
frontend and backend.
For my own edification: In the interests of the limited time of my
internship, we decided I shouldn't do the initialization using the xen
toolstack. Were there are other expediencies that I'm unaware of?
I tried to follow the xen handshaking protocol between front and back
end at startup.
Thanks.
Linda
As for "9pvirtio specific code", I think there is misunderstanding
because though a lot of files in QEMU are prefixed with virtio they are
actually not specific to virtio at all. I think the "independent of
virtio ..." part was referring to the new transport she wrote.
Wei.
