[PATCH v4 18/20] net/xen-netback: Make it running on 64KB page granularity

Julien Grall julien.grall at citrix.com
Mon Sep 7 08:33:56 PDT 2015


The PV network protocol is using 4KB page granularity. The goal of this
patch is to allow a Linux using 64KB page granularity working as a
network backend on a non-modified Xen.

It's only necessary to adapt the ring size and break skb data in small
chunk of 4KB. The rest of the code is relying on the grant table code.

Improvement such as support of 64KB grant is not taken into
consideration in this patch because we have the requirement to run a
Linux using 64KB pages on a non-modified Xen.

Note that I haven't add a comment why the offset is 0 after the first
iteration. See [1] for more details.

    Changes in v4:
        - Add a comment to explain how we compute MAX_XEN_SKB_FRAGS

    Changes in v3:
        - Fix errors reported by checkpatch.pl
        - s/mfn/gfn/ based on the new naming
        - gnttab_foreach_grant has been renamed to gnttab_forach_grant_in_range
        - The grant callback doesn't allow anymore to use less data. An
        helpers has been added in netback to handle this.

    Changes in v2:
        - Correctly set MAX_GRANT_COPY_OPS and XEN_NETBK_RX_SLOTS_MAX
        - Don't use XEN_PAGE_SIZE in handle_frag_list as we coalesce
        fragment into a new skb
        - Use gnntab_foreach_grant to split a Linux page into grant
