Pоtpоurri_6b Pоtpourri The context for this question is the sаme аs the previous question. 6. I/O ring dаta structures can be used to facilitate data transfer between paravirtualized guest OSs and the hypervisor. Consider a guest OS making a hypercall to the hypervisor to write some data to disk. The process begins with the guest making the write request, followed by the hypervisor processing the request and responding. Finally, the guest consumes this response. b. [4 points] Access to the ring data structure is through several pointers. For the disk write, describe in order the sequence of pointer modifications from request production to response consumption. Assume that there is space in the I/O ring for the Guest OS to enqueue a new request. For each modification, state: who makes the modification (guest or hypervisor). which pointer is modified. what the pointer modification is.
