34 * Older implementation of Xen network frontend / backend has an
35 * implicit dependency on the MAX_SKB_FRAGS as the maximum number of
36 * ring slots a skb can use. Netfront / netback may not work as
37 * expected when frontend and backend have different MAX_SKB_FRAGS.
39 * A better approach is to add mechanism for netfront / netback to
40 * negotiate this value. However we cannot fix all possible
41 * frontends, so we need to define a value which states the minimum
42 * slots backend must support.
44 * The minimum value derives from older Linux kernel's MAX_SKB_FRAGS
45 * (18), which is proved to work with most frontends. Any new backend
46 * which doesn't negotiate with frontend should expect frontend to
47 * send a valid packet using slots up to this value.
49 #define XEN_NETIF_NR_SLOTS_MIN 18
52 * Notifications after enqueuing any type of message should be conditional on
53 * the appropriate req_event or rsp_event field in the shared ring.
54 * If the client sends notification for rx requests then it should specify
55 * feature 'feature-rx-notify' via xenbus. Otherwise the backend will assume
56 * that it cannot safely queue packets (as it may not be kicked to send them).
60 * "feature-split-event-channels" is introduced to separate guest TX
61 * and RX notification. Backend either doesn't support this feature or
62 * advertises it via xenstore as 0 (disabled) or 1 (enabled).
64 * To make use of this feature, frontend should allocate two event
65 * channels for TX and RX, advertise them to backend as
66 * "event-channel-tx" and "event-channel-rx" respectively. If frontend
67 * doesn't want to use this feature, it just writes "event-channel"
72 * Multiple transmit and receive queues:
73 * If supported, the backend will write the key "multi-queue-max-queues" to
74 * the directory for that vif, and set its value to the maximum supported
76 * Frontends that are aware of this feature and wish to use it can write the
77 * key "multi-queue-num-queues", set to the number they wish to use, which
78 * must be greater than zero, and no more than the value reported by the backend
79 * in "multi-queue-max-queues".
81 * Queues replicate the shared rings and event channels.
82 * "feature-split-event-channels" may optionally be used when using
83 * multiple queues, but is not mandatory.
85 * Each queue consists of one shared ring pair, i.e. there must be the same
86 * number of tx and rx rings.
88 * For frontends requesting just one queue, the usual event-channel and
89 * ring-ref keys are written as before, simplifying the backend processing
90 * to avoid distinguishing between a frontend that doesn't understand the
91 * multi-queue feature, and one that does, but requested only one queue.
93 * Frontends requesting two or more queues must not write the toplevel
94 * event-channel (or event-channel-{tx,rx}) and {tx,rx}-ring-ref keys,
95 * instead writing those keys under sub-keys having the name "queue-N" where
96 * N is the integer ID of the queue for which those keys belong. Queues
97 * are indexed from zero. For example, a frontend with two queues and split
98 * event channels must write the following set of queue-related keys:
100 * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/multi-queue-num-queues = "2"
101 * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-0 = ""
102 * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-0/tx-ring-ref = "<ring-ref-tx0>"
103 * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-0/rx-ring-ref = "<ring-ref-rx0>"
104 * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-0/event-channel-tx = "<evtchn-tx0>"
105 * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-0/event-channel-rx = "<evtchn-rx0>"
106 * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-1 = ""
107 * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-1/tx-ring-ref = "<ring-ref-tx1>"
108 * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-1/rx-ring-ref = "<ring-ref-rx1"
109 * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-1/event-channel-tx = "<evtchn-tx1>"
110 * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-1/event-channel-rx = "<evtchn-rx1>"
112 * If there is any inconsistency in the XenStore data, the backend may
113 * choose not to connect any queues, instead treating the request as an
114 * error. This includes scenarios where more (or fewer) queues were
115 * requested than the frontend provided details for.
117 * Mapping of packets to queues is considered to be a function of the
118 * transmitting system (backend or frontend) and is not negotiated
119 * between the two. Guests are free to transmit packets on any queue
120 * they choose, provided it has been set up correctly. Guests must be
121 * prepared to receive packets on any queue they have requested be set up.
125 * "feature-no-csum-offload" should be used to turn IPv4 TCP/UDP checksum
126 * offload off or on. If it is missing then the feature is assumed to be on.
127 * "feature-ipv6-csum-offload" should be used to turn IPv6 TCP/UDP checksum
128 * offload on or off. If it is missing then the feature is assumed to be off.
132 * "feature-gso-tcpv4" and "feature-gso-tcpv6" advertise the capability to
133 * handle large TCP packets (in IPv4 or IPv6 form respectively). Neither
134 * frontends nor backends are assumed to be capable unless the flags are
139 * "feature-multicast-control" and "feature-dynamic-multicast-control"
140 * advertise the capability to filter ethernet multicast packets in the
141 * backend. If the frontend wishes to take advantage of this feature then
142 * it may set "request-multicast-control". If the backend only advertises
143 * "feature-multicast-control" then "request-multicast-control" must be set
144 * before the frontend moves into the connected state. The backend will
145 * sample the value on this state transition and any subsequent change in
146 * value will have no effect. However, if the backend also advertises
147 * "feature-dynamic-multicast-control" then "request-multicast-control"
148 * may be set by the frontend at any time. In this case, the backend will
149 * watch the value and re-sample on watch events.
151 * If the sampled value of "request-multicast-control" is set then the
152 * backend transmit side should no longer flood multicast packets to the
153 * frontend, it should instead drop any multicast packet that does not
154 * match in a filter list.
155 * The list is amended by the frontend by sending dummy transmit requests
156 * containing XEN_NETIF_EXTRA_TYPE_MCAST_{ADD,DEL} extra-info fragments as
158 * Note that the filter list may be amended even if the sampled value of
159 * "request-multicast-control" is not set, however the filter should only
160 * be applied if it is set.
167 * Some features, such as hashing (detailed below), require a
168 * significant amount of out-of-band data to be passed from frontend to
169 * backend. Use of xenstore is not suitable for large quantities of data
170 * because of quota limitations and so a dedicated 'control ring' is used.
171 * The ability of the backend to use a control ring is advertised by
174 * /local/domain/X/backend/<domid>/<vif>/feature-ctrl-ring = "1"
176 * The frontend provides a control ring to the backend by setting:
178 * /local/domain/<domid>/device/vif/<vif>/ctrl-ring-ref = <gref>
179 * /local/domain/<domid>/device/vif/<vif>/event-channel-ctrl = <port>
181 * where <gref> is the grant reference of the shared page used to
182 * implement the control ring and <port> is an event channel to be used
183 * as a mailbox interrupt. These keys must be set before the frontend
184 * moves into the connected state.
186 * The control ring uses a fixed request/response message size and is
187 * balanced (i.e. one request to one response), so operationally it is much
188 * the same as a transmit or receive ring.
189 * Note that there is no requirement that responses are issued in the same

693 * size = fragment size
697 * This format slightly is different from that used for transmit
698 * (frontend -> backend) packets. Specifically, in a multi-fragment
699 * packet the size of the packet can only be determined by summing the
700 * sizes of fragments 1..N.
702 * Ring slot size is 8 octets.
704 * rx request (xen_netif_rx_request_t)
705 * -------------------------------
707 * 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 octet
708 * +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
709 * | id | pad | gref |
710 * +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
712 * id: request identifier, echoed in response.
713 * gref: reference to incoming granted frame.
715 * rx response (xen_netif_rx_response_t)
716 * ---------------------------------
718 * 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 octet
719 * +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
720 * | id | offset | flags | status |
721 * +-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+-----+
723 * id: reflects id in receive request
724 * offset: offset in page of start of received packet
725 * flags: XEN_NETRXF_*
726 * status: -ve: XEN_NETIF_RSP_*; +ve: Rx'ed pkt size.
728 * NOTE: Historically, to support GSO on the frontend receive side, Linux
729 * netfront does not make use of the rx response id (because, as
730 * described below, extra info structures overlay the id field).
731 * Instead it assumes that responses always appear in the same ring
732 * slot as their corresponding request. Thus, to maintain
733 * compatibility, backends must make sure this is the case.
738 * Can be present if initial request or response has NET{T,R}XF_extra_info,
739 * or previous extra request has XEN_NETIF_EXTRA_MORE.
741 * The struct therefore needs to fit into either a tx or rx slot and
742 * is therefore limited to 8 octets.
744 * NOTE: Because extra info data overlays the usual request/response
745 * structures, there is no id information in the opposite direction.
746 * So, if an extra info overlays an rx response the frontend can
747 * assume that it is in the same ring slot as the request that was
748 * consumed to make the slot available, and the backend must ensure
749 * this assumption is true.
