Hi all,
 
Now i am porting an OS to xen3.1.4(no-PAE).  I want to implement blkfront driver according to Linux. But when i using my driver to read mbr, i got the data which is different from the phisical disk. I want to read the segment 0 on disk to req->bufs[0].buffer,
The following is what i did:
 
 
ring_req->id = id;
ring_req->sector_number = 0;
ring_req->handle = info->handle;
ring_req->operation = BLKIF_OP_READ;
ring_req->nr_segments = 1 ;/*just one segment*/
 
buffer_mfn = virt_to_mfn(((unsigned int)req->bufs[0].buffer));/*macro in MiniOS, get the machine page of buffer*/
fsect = (((unsigned int)req->bufs[0].buffer) >> 9) %8;
lsect = fsect + (req->bufs[0].length >> 9) - 1;/*length of req->bufs[0].buffer*/
 
ref = gnttab_grant_access(info->xbdev->otherend_id, buffer_mfn, 0 );
info->shadow[id].frame[0] = mfn_to_pfn(buffer_mfn);
ring_req->seg[0] = (struct blkif_request_segment) {
.gref       = ref,
.first_sect = fsect,
.last_sect  = lsect 
};
 
 
Then i try to modify linux domU source code( linux-2.6-xen-sparse/drivers/xen/blkfront/blkfront.c). I still got the same result.
The following is what i did:
 
volatile unsigned char * test_data = 0;
static int blkif_queue_request(struct request *req)
{
struct blkfront_info *info = req->rq_disk->private_data;

blkif_request_t *ring_req;
struct bio *bio;
struct bio_vec *bvec;
int idx;
unsigned long id;
unsigned int fsect, lsect;
int ref;
grant_ref_t gref_head;
int i=0;
if (unlikely(info->connected != BLKIF_STATE_CONNECTED))
return 1;
if (gnttab_alloc_grant_references(
BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST, &gref_head) < 0) {
gnttab_request_free_callback(
            &info->callback,
 blkif_restart_queue_callback,
            info,
            BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST);
return 1;
}

id = GET_ID_FROM_FREELIST(info);
info->shadow[id].request = (unsigned long)req;
ring_req->id = id;
ring_req->sector_number = (blkif_sector_t)0;
ring_req->handle = info->handle;
ring_req->operation = rq_data_dir(req) ?
BLKIF_OP_WRITE : BLKIF_OP_READ;
if (blk_barrier_rq(req))
ring_req->operation = BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER;
ring_req->nr_segments = 0;
rq_for_each_bio (bio, req) {
bio_for_each_segment (bvec, bio, idx) {
BUG_ON(ring_req->nr_segments
       == BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST);
buffer_mfn = page_to_phys(bvec->bv_page) >> PAGE_SHIFT;
fsect = bvec->bv_offset >> 9;
lsect = fsect + (bvec->bv_len >> 9) - 1;

.first_sect = fsect,
.last_sect  = lsect };
ring_req->nr_segments++;
if(ring_req->nr_segments == 1)
goto end;
}
}
end:
if(!test_data){
test_data = ((char*)(bvec->bv_page)) + bvec->bv_offset;
printk("buffer_mfn = %d, buffer_mfn address = 0x%x\n", buffer_mfn, test_data);

          }

Can anyone help me?
