The major responsibility of talk_to_blkback() is allocate and initialize the request ring and write the ring info to xenstore. But this work should be done after backend entered 'XenbusStateInitWait' as defined in the protocol file. See xen/include/public/io/blkif.h in XEN git tree: Front Back ================================= ===================================== XenbusStateInitialising XenbusStateInitialising o Query virtual device o Query backend device identification properties. data. o Setup OS device instance. o Open and validate backend device. o Publish backend features and transport parameters. | | V XenbusStateInitWait o Query backend features and transport parameters. o Allocate and initialize the request ring. There is no problem with this yet, but it is an violation of the design and furthermore it would not allow frontend/backend to negotiate 'multi-page' and 'multi-queue' features. Changes in v2: - Re-write the commit message to be more clear.
