[Xen-devel] Q on shared_mem and event_channel

[ravi kerur <rkerur@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I think this might have been discussed numerous times on this mailing-list, if there is a relevant post I can refer to please point that to me. What I am trying to do is set up a shared memory/event-channels between dom0 and domU's via socket calls because I cannot use existing front-end/back-end driver mechanism since it relies on devices aka vif, vbd type of device to be created and uses xenbus/xenstored for communication between domains. Adding support for new device similar to vif/vbd may require xapi changes as well which I would like to avoid. Instead write own socket library calls aka bind/connect and use them to setup shared memory and event channels between domains. I haven't sketched out details yet, but thought of checking if this would be feasible.

Thanks
-Ravi
