3254f836 - xen-netback: separate guest side rx code into separate module

Tue, 04 Oct 2016 09:29:12 +0000

xen-netback: separate guest side rx code into separate moduleThe netback source module has become very large and somewhat confusing.This patch simply moves all code related to the backend to frontend (i.eguest side rx) data-path into a separate rx source module.This patch contains no functional change, it is code movement andminimal changes to avoid patch style-check issues.Signed-off-by: Paul Durrant Signed-off-by: David S.

40d8abde - xen-netback: add control protocol implementation

Fri, 13 May 2016 08:37:27 +0000

xen-netback: add control protocol implementationMy recent patch to include/xen/interface/io/netif.h defines a new sharedring (in addition to the rx and tx rings) for passing control messagesfrom a VM frontend driver to a backend driver.A previous patch added the necessary boilerplate for mapping the controlring from the frontend, should it be created. This patch addsimplementations for each of the defined protocol messages.Signed-off-by: Paul Durrant Cc: Wei Liu Acked-by: Wei Liu Signed-off-by: David S.

f942dc25 - xen network backend driver

Tue, 15 Mar 2011 00:06:18 +0000

xen network backend drivernetback is the host side counterpart to the frontend driver indrivers/net/xen-netfront.c. The PV protocol is also implemented byfrontend 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 buthas been put through the checkpatch.pl wringer plus several manualcleanup passes and review iterations. The driver has been moved fromdrivers/xen/netback to drivers/net/xen-netback.One major change from xen.git is that the guest transmit path (i.e. whatlooks like receive to netback) has been significantly reworked to removethe dependency on the out of tree PageForeign page flag (a core kernelpatch which enables a per page destructor callback on the finalput_page). This page flag was used in order to implement a grant mapbased transmit path (where guest pages are mapped directly into SKBfrags). Instead this version of netback uses grant copy operations intoregular memory belonging to the backend domain. Reinstating the grantmap functionality is something which I would like to revisit in thefuture.Note that this driver depends on 2e820f58f7ad "xen/irq: implementbind_interdomain_evtchn_to_irqhandler for backend drivers" which is inlinux next via the "xen-two" tree and is intended for the 2.6.39 mergewindow: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git stable/backendsthis branch has only that single commit since 2.6.38-rc2 and is safe forcross merging into the net branch.Signed-off-by: Ian Campbell Reviewed-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: David S.
