I'm reading blkback/front driver's code, but it is too complicated. I've
understood that i should use message rings for my task (i've read
docs/misc/blkif-drivers-explained.txt too). But how to get such ring?

May be a simple example of solution such problem exists, so could you point me
on this example?

You bootstrap yourself via xenbus. You have a pre-agreed location in the xenstore hieararchy where the frontend driver writes key-value pairs containing the grant reference for the page containing the message rings, and an event channel for async notifications.

See the xenbus.c files in each backend driver directory for examples.
