Hi
I want to disable persistent grant in xen. I tried to use xenbus to
disable it. What I did is modifying this line in
drivers/block/xenblkback/xenbus.c:

791    err = xenbus_printf(xbt, dev->nodename, "feature-persistent",
"%u", 1);


and put this

791    err = xenbus_printf(xbt, dev->nodename, "feature-persistent",
"%u", 0);

but the problem is my domain crash.

I think it is not the only thing to do in order to disable persistent
grant.

You only disabled it in the backend, so blkfront is announcing
persistent grant support while blkback is not. This means that blkback will use persistent grants (because it sees the frontend supports them),
but blkfront will not.

You also need to disable the feature announcement from the frontend,
just grep for feature-persistent in xen-blkfront.c.

Roger.
