- <tschwinge> I had a look at the code, but unfortunately don't really know
- how this data transfers between Xen and the domU work.
- <tschwinge> Well, I know how it roughly works, but not the implementation
- deatils.
- <youpi> well here it's not about the xen/domU transfers
- <youpi> it's about copying data to align it
- <youpi> i.e. when offset is not aligned, I need to copy it
- <tschwinge> Yes-
- <youpi> I was lazy, just implemented it for things smaller than a page
- <youpi> it just needs to be extended into copying several pages
- <tschwinge> youpi: Hmm, do we need to copy all the data to shift away the
- offset or is there a better way?
- <youpi> the blkbackend needs data to be sector-aligned
- <youpi> just aligning on a page makes offset computation simpler
- <youpi> as it's rare that's not a problem
- <tschwinge> And a sector is the usual 512 bytes there, I assume?
- <tschwinge> But then we do need to copy all of it?
- <youpi> let me check
- <youpi> the sector is the granularity you can't go below
- <youpi> sector is the sector_size reported by the backend
- <youpi> but for sector_number and first/last_sect it's 512
- <youpi> yes, that's weird
