The xenbus module provides xenbus_map_ring_valloc() and xenbus_map_ring_vfree(). Use these to map the Tx and Rx ring pages granted by the frontend.

2011-10-19net: add skb frag size accessorsEric Dumazet
To ease skb->truesize sanitization, its better to be able to localize all references to skb frags size. Define accessors : skb_frag_size() to fetch frag size, and skb_frag_size_{set|add|sub}() to manipulate it. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-10-05xen: netback: convert to SKB paged frag API.Ian Campbell
netback currently uses frag->page to store a temporary index reference while processing incoming requests. Since frag->page is to become opaque switch instead to using page_offset. Add a wrapper to tidy this up and propagate the fact that the indexes are only u16 through the code (this was already true in practice but unsigned long and in were inconsistently used as variable and parameter types) Signed-off-by: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com> Cc: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com> Cc: xen-devel@lists.xensource.com Cc: netdev@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: David S.

2011-10-03net: xen-netback: correctly restart Tx after a VM restore/migrateDavid Vrabel
If a VM is saved and restored (or migrated) the netback driver will no longer process any Tx packets from the frontend. xenvif_up() does not schedule the processing of any pending Tx requests from the front end because the carrier is off. Without this initial kick the frontend just adds Tx requests to the ring without raising an event (until the ring is full). This was caused by 47103041e91794acdbc6165da0ae288d844c820b (net: xen-netback: convert to hw_features) which reordered the calls to xenvif_up() and netif_carrier_on() in xenvif_connect().

The later causes warnings with gcc 4.5+. __CONST_RING_SIZE was introduced in 667c78afaec0 to fix this but as netback wasn't upstream at the time it did not benefit, hence: CC drivers/net/xen-netback/netback.o drivers/net/xen-netback/netback.c:110:37: warning: variably modified 'grant_copy_op' at file scope [enabled by default] drivers/net/xen-netback/netback.c:111:30: warning: variably modified 'meta' at file scope [enabled by default] drivers/net/xen-netback/netback.c: In function 'xen_netbk_rx_action': drivers/net/xen-netback/netback.c:584:6: warning: variable 'irq' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable] Thanks to Witold Baryluk for pointing this out.

2011-03-15xen network backend driverIan Campbell
netback is the host side counterpart to the frontend driver in drivers/net/xen-netfront.c. The PV protocol is also implemented by frontend drivers in other OSes too, such as the BSDs and even Windows. The patch is based on the driver from the xen.git pvops kernel tree but has been put through the checkpatch.pl wringer plus several manual cleanup passes and review iterations. The driver has been moved from drivers/xen/netback to drivers/net/xen-netback. One major change from xen.git is that the guest transmit path (i.e. what looks like receive to netback) has been significantly reworked to remove the dependency on the out of tree PageForeign page flag (a core kernel patch which enables a per page destructor callback on the final put_page). This page flag was used in order to implement a grant map based transmit path (where guest pages are mapped directly into SKB frags). Instead this version of netback uses grant copy operations into regular memory belonging to the backend domain. Reinstating the grant map functionality is something which I would like to revisit in the future. Note that this driver depends on 2e820f58f7ad "xen/irq: implement bind_interdomain_evtchn_to_irqhandler for backend drivers" which is in linux next via the "xen-two" tree and is intended for the 2.6.39 merge window: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git stable/backends this branch has only that single commit since 2.6.38-rc2 and is safe for cross merging into the net branch.
