Ceph distributed filesystem merged for 2.6.34

Parent article: Ceph distributed filesystem merged for 2.6.34

With apologies for the somewhat offtopic and pointless question, is there any hope of seeing Xen dom0 support merged in this release? The Xen wiki paravirtops page still says that inclusion is planned for 2.6.34 o 2.6.35.

[Since this is my first post, I would like to state here my great appreciation for lwn.net authors, contents and posters).

Thanks

There has been no pull request that I'm aware of for Xen stuff - and the nature of that code is such that it's hard to be unaware of an attempt to merge it. So no, we'll not see it in 2.6.34. I'd say 2.6.35 is unlikely too unless something is posted in the fairly near future.

Thanks for the answer.

So, even if the almost ready Xen 4.0 release will for the first time abandon the ancient non-paravirtops dom0 patches in favor of paravirtops-based ones, the inclusion in mainline is still not close to happen, contrary to what one might naively have guessed.

(FWIW, I'm currently running Slackware 13.0 as a dom0 through the SUSE patches, rebased for kernel.org 2.6.31 by A . Lyon)

There is a handy "Subscribe" link at the top of every LWN page, and xe.com converts the $2.50 of the basic rate to 113 rupees. It should be at worst about 1/200th of the living costs in your city (20k rupees), so roughly the equivalent to the highest rate ($10) for an European or US resident (assuming living costs of $2k). An excellent deal I would say.
