From f53c3fe8dad725b014e9c7682720d8e3e2a8a5b3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Zoltan Kiss Date: Thu, 6 Mar 2014 21:48:26 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] xen-netback: Introduce TX grant mapping This patch introduces grant mapping on netback TX path. It replaces grant copy operations, ditching grant copy coalescing along the way. Another solution for copy coalescing is introduced in "xen-netback: Handle guests with too many frags", older guests and Windows can broke before that patch applies. There is a callback (xenvif_zerocopy_callback) from core stack to release the slots back to the guests when kfree_skb or skb_orphan_frags called. It feeds a separate dealloc thread, as scheduling NAPI instance from there is inefficient, therefore we can't do dealloc from the instance. Signed-off-by: Zoltan Kiss Signed-off-by: David S.
