2011-06-30xen/netback: Add module alias for autoloadingBastian Blank
Add xen-backend:vif module alias to the xen-netback module. This allows automatic loading of the module. Signed-off-by: Bastian Blank <waldi@debian.org> Acked-by: Ian Campbell <ian.campbell@citrix.com> Acked-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
2011-05-17xen: netback: use __CONST_RING_SIZE not __RING_SIZEIan Campbell
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.
