[Xen-devel] about probing xenbus drivers again

[Anton Korenyushkin <tiger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have written backend end frontend drivers. They register themself on 
initialization and wait for xen to invoke it's probe function, which contains 
only one printk. Backend is compiled into dom0 kernel, frontend into both 
kernels.

When i start xend in dom0 nothing happens. Then i use xm create to create 
domain 1. Probe functions of vbd and vif drivers are executed but probe 
function of my driver isn't. Then i try to create some nodes (name of my 
driver is prmigr):

xenstore-write /local/domain/0/device/prmigr hi
xenstore-write /local/domain/0/device/prmigr/hello hi

And i see that frontend's probe function is invoked.
The same happens with 1-st domain. But when i try:

xenstore-write /local/domain/0/backend/prmigr hi
xenstore-write /local/domain/0/backend/prmigr/hello hi

Nothing happens.

So, please, explain me
1) why there are nodes vbd and vif in devices and backend directories but 
there isn't prmigr node? vbd and vif driver invoke xenbus_register_driver or 
xenbus_register_backend like my driver does. How to make xen to create prmigr 
node while initialization?
2)why writing to the backend/prmigr node doesn't affect to the xen and 
appropriate probe function isn't executed?

Thanks a lot.
