Re: [Xen-devel] Xen PV: Sample new PV driver for buffer sharing between domains



Hi,

Sorry, I forgot, I used code from github chapter [2] from that link, and
I just changed name "mydevice"  to "vdevb"

Where I have to provide access rights, i.e from Kernel code or from from command line in domain-0 or modify in xen source?
Any thing that I have to do/change in xenbits xen-4.8 sources code, to add new PV device?

No, is it needed to modify some thing in xl/libxl for adding new device type?

Setup manually Xenstore means, using commands?

Thanks,
Omkar B

There is a script [1] which comes with the example implementation,
so I believe Omkar uses it with "mydevice" -> "vdevb" change
