[Xen-devel] run real drivers in differnt domains

["Phani Babu Giddi" <phanig@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

 

I want to run 'real device drivers' I mean native drivers (ofcourse recompiled for xen) as part of the two guests (Linux OS). These drivers will be accessing seperate devices and will not be shared by guests. Do you think this configuration is possible ? I am referring to a system with just PV and no HVM.

 

My understanding of 'dmo0' or the driver domain is that only those devices/device-drivers which need to be shared between guest OS have to run in the driver domain but otherwise they can run as part of the unprivlidged guest domain. The other reason is that xen wants to have just one set of drivers for all guest OS.

 

I just want avoid writing front end and back end driver pairs for custom device drivers and run as it is in their respective domains.

 

Regards,

Phani
