Mark,
How did you attempt to subscribe? It looks like the buttons on the main
xenproject page donât take you to the mailman URL. Try going straight to
http://lists.xenproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/win-pv-devel
To answer your questions thoughâ
1)
I think the WMI interface should probably not stray
much beyond xenstore access. Most other things (unless you have particular reason to want to implement them in .NET) will probably want an IOCTL interface.
RafaÅ WojdyÅa <omeg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> has been doing work on adding
libvchan support and has been using an IOCTL based interface to get at things like event channels. I believe he has patches in the pipeline.
2)
I believe it is currently safe to use both IOCTL
and WMI xenstore access concurrently. If it isnât the Iâd regard that as a bug.
HTH,
Paul

Subject: [win-pv-devel] New Dev and issues
Hello,
I am working on a project for AIS to incorporate the Win PV Driver Project into OpenXT. I've submitted two requests to subscribe to this list but have not yet received
a response.
I could use some help relative to the IOCTL and WMI interfaces exposed by Xeniface. I see examples of the WMI interface usage in the win32stubagent, but non for the IOCTL
interface. These are my questions:
1) Is the WMI interface preferred over the IOCTL and is future dev expected to continue in that direction? For example when I add new OpenXT drivers, is dominant usage
of the WMI interface encouraged?
2) Can both IOCTL and WMI xenstore interfaces be used concurrently without issue?
