xen/m2p: do not reuse kmap_op->dev_bus_addr

2012-09-12T15:21:40Z

If the caller passes a valid kmap_op to m2p_add_override, we use kmap_op->dev_bus_addr to store the original mfn, but dev_bus_addr is part of the interface with Xen and if we are batching the hypercalls it might not have been written by the hypervisor yet. That means that later on Xen will write to it and we'll think that the original mfn is actually what Xen has written to it. Rather than "stealing" struct members from kmap_op, keep using page->index to store the original mfn and add another parameter to m2p_remove_override to get the corresponding kmap_op instead. It is now responsibility of the caller to keep track of which kmap_op corresponds to a particular page in the m2p_override (gntdev, the only user of this interface that passes a valid kmap_op, is already doing that).

xenbus: Add support for xenbus backend in stub domain

2012-05-21T13:53:18Z

Add an ioctl to the /dev/xen/xenbus_backend device allowing the xenbus backend to be started after the kernel has booted. This allows xenstore to run in a different domain from the dom0. Signed-off-by: Daniel De Graaf Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk

xen/grant-table: Support mappings required by blkback

2011-12-20T22:07:27Z

Add support for mappings without GNTMAP_contains_pte. This was not supported because the unmap operation assumed that this flag was being used; adding a parameter to the unmap operation to allow the PTE clearing to be disabled is sufficient to make unmap capable of supporting either mapping type.

xen/granttable: Support transitive grants

2011-12-16T16:25:39Z

These allow a domain A which has been granted access on a page of domain B's memory to issue domain C with a copy-grant on the same page. This is useful e.g. for forwarding packets between domains. Signed-off-by: Annie Li Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk

xen/granttable: Support sub-page grants

2011-12-16T16:25:02Z

- They can't be used to map the page (so can only be used in a GNTTABOP_copy hypercall). - It's possible to grant access with a finer granularity than whole pages. - Xen guarantees that they can be revoked quickly (a normal map grant can only be revoked with the cooperation of the domain which has been granted access).

xen/granttable: Grant tables V2 implementation

2011-11-22T14:24:51Z

Receiver-side copying of packets is based on this implementation, it gives better performance and better CPU accounting. It totally supports three types: full-page, sub-page and transitive grants. However this patch does not cover sub-page and transitive grants, it mainly focus on Full-page part and implements grant table V2 interfaces corresponding to what already exists in grant table V1, such as: grant table V2 initialization, mapping, releasing and exported interfaces. Each guest can only supports one type of grant table type, every entry in grant table should be the same version. It is necessary to set V1 or V2 version before initializing the grant table. Grant table exported interfaces of V2 are same with those of V1, Xen is responsible to judge what grant table version guests are using in every grant operation. V2 fulfills the same role of V1, and it is totally backwards compitable with V1. If dom0 support grant table V2, the guests runing on it can run with either V1 or V2.

xen/granttable: Introducing grant table V2 stucture

2011-11-22T14:23:44Z

This patch introduces new structures of grant table V2, grant table V2 is an extension from V1. Grant table is shared between guest and Xen, and Xen is responsible to do corresponding work for grant operations, such as: figure out guest's grant table version, perform different actions based on different grant table version, etc. Although full-page structure of V2 is different from V1, it play the same role as V1.

xen: use generic functions instead of xen_{alloc, free}_vm_area()

2011-09-29T19:02:18Z

Replace calls to the Xen-specific xen_alloc_vm_area() and xen_free_vm_area() functions with the generic equivalent (alloc_vm_area() and free_vm_area()). On x86, these were identical already. Signed-off-by: David Vrabel Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk
