>how does XEND pass the information abt the control channel in DomainU??. the control rings live on the shared page that is passed to new domains at start-of-day. see the control_if_t struct in xen/include/public/io/domain_controller.h. > Yeah, this has confused me a little too. xfrd does call > xc_linux_build.

In the general case of building a new domain, xend calls the domain builder directly. you don't see the linux_build call because python builds it inline: tools/python/xen/xend/XendDomainInfo.py:736: buildfn = getattr(xc, '%s_build' % ostype) xfrd is only used for domain migration. > >>From what I am understanding x2d2 is like a miniXend for testing > >purposes. The actual XEND does NOT communicate with x2d2. This is correct, x2d2 is a simpler xend that steven smith wrote. I don't think that it will build with the current tree. hth, a. ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
