[PATCH v3 16/20] block/xen-blkback: Make it running on 64KB page granularity

[Roger Pau Monné]

El 07/08/15 a les 18.46, Julien Grall ha escrit:
> The PV block protocol is using 4KB page granularity. The goal of this
> patch is to allow a Linux using 64KB page granularity behaving as a
> block backend on a non-modified Xen.
> 
> It's only necessary to adapt the ring size and the number of request per
> indirect frames. The rest of the code is relying on the grant table
> code.
> 
> Note that the grant table code is allocating a Linux page per grant
> which will result to waste 6OKB for every grant when Linux is using 64KB
> page granularity. This could be improved by sharing the page between
> multiple grants.

Please expand this comment to mention that it only applies to ARM, for
now on x86 the backend and the frontend always use the same page size.
