Subject: [PATCH] xen-blkback: only attach blkback if the required features are met
Date: Fri, 4 Apr 2014 16:41:11 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1396622471-13114-1-git-send-email-roger.pau@citrix.com> (raw)
Blkback cannot work properly on auto-translated guests if Xen doesn't
update the IOMMU when performing grant maps/unmaps, so only attach if
the newly introduced XENFEAT_hvm_gntmap_supports_iommu is found.
