Summary0000953: Please Enable Required Configuration Options for a Xen dom0
DescriptionIn a recent e-mail message, PryMar56 (##xen-packaging on Freenode IRC), requested the following configuration changes --

CONFIG_XEN_BLKDEV_BACKEND=m
CONFIG_XEN_NETDEV_BACKEND=m
CONFIG_XEN_FBDEV_FRONTEND=y
CONFIG_XEN_BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=y
CONFIG_XEN_GRANT_DMA_ALLOC is not set

Checking the master configuration files for our kernel-ml package sets we can see that the el8 package has not followed that of the el7 package "for all things Xen" --

[kernels]$ grep -r 'CONFIG_XEN' * | grep '5\.3\.2' \
| grep -E 'BLKDEV_BACKEND|NETDEV_BACKEND|FBDEV_FRONTEND|XEN_BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG|GRANT_DMA_ALLOC' \

With the recent release of the kernel-ml package set for el8 [1] this RFE has been fulfilled.

Now closing as "resolved/fixed".
