When this bug happens, the data flow is: vm2 blkfront-> vm2 blkback->I am a bit confused here. 'vm2 blkfront -> vm2 blkback'? Did you mean 'dom0 blkback'? Yes, Dom0 blkback. loop -> nfs file -> nfs client -> bridge priv1 -> vm1 vif -> vm1 netback -> vm1 netfront.So both netback and netfront run in the same guest? I think you want these two swapped around (netfront -> netback). No, the netfront in above routine means the one in guest vm1, and this is network RX path in vm1. vm2 is running from nfs exported share of vm1. When vm2 write its disk, data will go to the nfs file. Finally, the data will be sent through network to vm1, then the data routine is from netback to vm1 netfront. See following, vm1(nfs server) vm2 | \ / | \ / | \ / Dom0(nfs client) Thanks Annie In above data flow, nfs implements direct io, blkfront and blkback uses grantmap. This makes page mapping works well through vm2 blkfront to vm1 netback. However, when netback does grant copy, the error happens in this routine:If it's the same error I was seeing (which I think it is), the problem is due to trying to do a grant_copy with the PFN of a grant mapped page in Dom0, which Xen refuses to perform. I've never followed it up, but I think the problem should be fixed in Linux, so that netback realises it is trying to perform a grant_copy to a granted page, and use the grant ref instead of the PFN.I guess the routine is similar if using grant ref. See __gnttab_copy function, The routine goes into __acquire_grant_for_copy for grant ref, and then __get_paged_frame->get_page_from_gfn->get_page. get_page is where the checking page owner fails.
