[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 0/2] xen: fix gnttab handling with old dom0 kernels |

Trying to start a domain with a qdisk backend on an old dom0 kernel
(non-pvops xen kernel) will fail as xengnttab_set_max_grants() will
succeed only if called directly after opening the gnttab device.
These two patches address the issue by:
- moving the test for availability of xengnttab_grant_copy() from
the qdisk backend to generic backend handling in order to not have
to issue the grant copy ioctl with the qdisk specific file handle
- opening the gnttab device in blk_connect() only in order to
guarantee xengnttab_set_max_grants() is called just after opening
the gnttab device
Juergen Gross (2):
xen: add a global indicator for grant copy being available
xen: dont try setting max grants multiple times
