16  * Older implementation of Xen network frontend / backend has an
17  * implicit dependency on the MAX_SKB_FRAGS as the maximum number of
18  * ring slots a skb can use. Netfront / netback may not work as
19  * expected when frontend and backend have different MAX_SKB_FRAGS.
20  *
21  * A better approach is to add mechanism for netfront / netback to
22  * negotiate this value. However we cannot fix all possible
23  * frontends, so we need to define a value which states the minimum
24  * slots backend must support.
25  *
26  * The minimum value derives from older Linux kernel's MAX_SKB_FRAGS
27  * (18), which is proved to work with most frontends. Any new backend
28  * which doesn't negotiate with frontend should expect frontend to
29  * send a valid packet using slots up to this value.

34  * Notifications after enqueuing any type of message should be conditional on
35  * the appropriate req_event or rsp_event field in the shared ring.
36  * If the client sends notification for rx requests then it should specify
37  * feature 'feature-rx-notify' via xenbus. Otherwise the backend will assume
38  * that it cannot safely queue packets (as it may not be kicked to send them).

42  * "feature-split-event-channels" is introduced to separate guest TX
43  * and RX notificaion. Backend either doesn't support this feature or
44  * advertise it via xenstore as 0 (disabled) or 1 (enabled).
45  *
46  * To make use of this feature, frontend should allocate two event
47  * channels for TX and RX, advertise them to backend as
48  * "event-channel-tx" and "event-channel-rx" respectively. If frontend
49  * doesn't want to use this feature, it just writes "event-channel"
50  * node as before.
51  */
52 
53 /*
54  * Multiple transmit and receive queues:
55  * If supported, the backend will write the key "multi-queue-max-queues" to
56  * the directory for that vif, and set its value to the maximum supported
57  * number of queues.
58  * Frontends that are aware of this feature and wish to use it can write the
59  * key "multi-queue-num-queues", set to the number they wish to use, which
60  * must be greater than zero, and no more than the value reported by the backend
61  * in "multi-queue-max-queues".
62  *
63  * Queues replicate the shared rings and event channels.
64  * "feature-split-event-channels" may optionally be used when using
65  * multiple queues, but is not mandatory.
66  *
67  * Each queue consists of one shared ring pair, i.e. there must be the same
68  * number of tx and rx rings.
69  *
70  * For frontends requesting just one queue, the usual event-channel and
71  * ring-ref keys are written as before, simplifying the backend processing
72  * to avoid distinguishing between a frontend that doesn't understand the
73  * multi-queue feature, and one that does, but requested only one queue.
74  *
75  * Frontends requesting two or more queues must not write the toplevel
76  * event-channel (or event-channel-{tx,rx}) and {tx,rx}-ring-ref keys,
77  * instead writing those keys under sub-keys having the name "queue-N" where
78  * N is the integer ID of the queue for which those keys belong. Queues
79  * are indexed from zero. For example, a frontend with two queues and split
80  * event channels must write the following set of queue-related keys:
81  *
82  * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/multi-queue-num-queues = "2"
83  * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-0 = ""
84  * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-0/tx-ring-ref = "<ring-ref-tx0>"
85  * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-0/rx-ring-ref = "<ring-ref-rx0>"
86  * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-0/event-channel-tx = "<evtchn-tx0>"
87  * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-0/event-channel-rx = "<evtchn-rx0>"
88  * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-1 = ""
89  * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-1/tx-ring-ref = "<ring-ref-tx1>"
90  * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-1/rx-ring-ref = "<ring-ref-rx1"
91  * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-1/event-channel-tx = "<evtchn-tx1>"
92  * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-1/event-channel-rx = "<evtchn-rx1>"
93  *
94  * If there is any inconsistency in the XenStore data, the backend may
95  * choose not to connect any queues, instead treating the request as an
96  * error. This includes scenarios where more (or fewer) queues were
97  * requested than the frontend provided details for.
98  *
99  * Mapping of packets to queues is considered to be a function of the
100  * transmitting system (backend or frontend) and is not negotiated
101  * between the two. Guests are free to transmit packets on any queue
102  * they choose, provided it has been set up correctly. Guests must be
103  * prepared to receive packets on any queue they have requested be set up.
