[Xen-devel] blktap3 / tapdisk3 development

[Pasi Kärkkäinen <pasik@xxxxxx>]

Hello,

During summer 2013 it was announced that blktap3 upstreaming has been halted:
http://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2013-07/msg02433.html

It seems upcoming XenServer 6.5 "Creedence" is going to use blktap3 / tapdisk3 
after all,
so if i understand this correctly blktap3 is being developed "only for 
XenServer", right? 

Many interested persons have been asking on mailing lists and on IRC about the 
status of blktap3 development.
Is it possible for someone from Citrix/XenServer to comment about this? 

I know there's a blog post about blktap3/tapdisk3 performance (improvements) 
here:
http://xenserver.org/blog/entry/tapdisk3

One of the interested developers is CC'd on this email. He has written RBD/Ceph 
support patch for blktap2,
and he's interested in porting that to blktap3/tapdisk3..

Also is this the correct repo with latest blktap3/tapdisk3 bits in it?: 
https://github.com/xapi-project/blktap


Thanks,

-- Pasi
