These are the minutes I took during the call: Xen PV Drivers Lifecycle document ready to be committed.
Common Pitfalls for new PV protocols: - 32 vs 64 fields - not Linux centric - missing version fields and feature flags Full list of outstanding PV protocols: pvcalls, xen-9pfs, multitouch events, sound, display, netfront/netback extension PVCalls: should be OK to move forward, Konrad will review next Sound: should be OK to move forward, Konrad will review next Display: concerns about whether it will replace xenfb. Konrad will take a look after Multitouch: new, but simple, Stefano will review Netfront/netback extension: new, still many comments outstanding, probably not for the next release Things to do - use pahole 32 bit and 64 bit to check the structs, publish the output on xendevel - use version field and feature flags on xenstore - write new PV protocols guideline doc to explain common pitfalls and versioning to newcomers - write a README in docs/misc with the state of new PV protocols when they are checked in - Oleksandr will publish a library for userspace backends in C++ to xenbits _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org https://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
