Not pfn_to_mfn()?
I'd love to, but pfn_to_mfn is only defined for x86, not ARM:
[1]
and [2]
Thus,
drivers/xen/gntdev.c:408:10: error: implicit declaration of
function
‘pfn_to_mfn’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
mfn = pfn_to_mfn(page_to_pfn(map->pages[i]));
So, I'll keep __pfn_to_mfn
How will this work on non-PV x86?
So, you mean I need:
#ifdef CONFIG_X86
mfn = pfn_to_mfn(page_to_pfn(map->pages[i]));
#else
mfn = __pfn_to_mfn(page_to_pfn(map->pages[i]));
#endif
I'd rather fix it in ARM code. Stefano, why does ARM uses the
underscored version?
Do you want me to add one more patch for ARM to wrap __pfn_to_mfn
with static inline for ARM? e.g.
static inline ...pfn_to_mfn(...)
{
__pfn_to_mfn();
}
A Xen on ARM guest doesn't actually know the mfns behind its own
pseudo-physical pages. This is why we stopped using pfn_to_mfn and
started using pfn_to_bfn instead, which will generally return "pfn",
unless the page is a foreign grant. See include/xen/arm/page.h.
pfn_to_bfn was also introduced on x86. For example, see the usage of
pfn_to_bfn in drivers/xen/swiotlb-xen.c. Otherwise, if you don't care
about other mapped grants, you can just use pfn_to_gfn, that always
returns pfn.
I think then this code needs to use pfn_to_bfn().
Ok
Also, for your information, we support different page granularities in
Linux as a Xen guest, see the comment at include/xen/arm/page.h:
/*
* The pseudo-physical frame (pfn) used in all the helpers is always
based
* on Xen page granularity (i.e 4KB).
*
* A Linux page may be split across multiple non-contiguous Xen page so
we
* have to keep track with frame based on 4KB page granularity.
*
* PV drivers should never make a direct usage of those helpers
(particularly
* pfn_to_gfn and gfn_to_pfn).
*/
A Linux page could be 64K, but a Xen page is always 4K. A granted page
is also 4K. We have helpers to take into account the offsets to map
multiple Xen grants in a single Linux page, see for example
drivers/xen/grant-table.c:gnttab_foreach_grant. Most PV drivers have
been converted to be able to work with 64K pages correctly, but if I
remember correctly gntdev.c is the only remaining driver that doesn't
support 64K pages yet, so you don't have to deal with it if you don't
want to.
I believe somewhere in this series there is a test for PAGE_SIZE vs.
XEN_PAGE_SIZE. Right, Oleksandr?
Not in gntdev. You might have seen this in xen-drmfront/xen-sndfront,
but I didn't touch gntdev for that. Do you want me to add yet another patch
in the series to check for that?
gntdev.c is already not capable of handling PAGE_SIZE != XEN_PAGE_SIZE,
so you are not going to break anything that is not already broken :-) If
your new gntdev.c code relies on PAGE_SIZE == XEN_PAGE_SIZE, it might be
good to add an in-code comment about it, just to make it easier to fix
the whole of gntdev.c in the future.
Well, I think gntdev is capable of handling PAGE_SIZE != XEN_PAGE_SIZE.
Let's imagine Linux is built with 64K pages. gntdev will map each grant
at a 64K alignment. Although, I am not sure if patches for QEMU ever
make it upstream (I think it is in Centos).
