Thanks. I have a concern though (re-posting from xen-devel). I need to bring attention to the following hunk:
diff --git a/drivers/net/xen-netback/netback.c b/drivers/net/xen-netback/netback.c
index 682633b..5610fd8 100644
--- a/drivers/net/xen-netback/netback.c

- ret = HYPERVISOR_grant_table_op(GNTTABOP_copy, &netbk->grant_copy_op,
- npo.copy_prod);
- BUG_ON(ret != 0);
+ gnttab_batch_copy_no_eagain(netbk->grant_copy_op, npo.copy_prod);
It seems like the (extant) code passes a struct gnttab_copy ** to the grant table hypercall (&netbk->grant_copy_op, defined as struct gnttab_copy [])
I "fixed" it to pass a struct gnttab_copy * (netbk->grant_copy_op, no '&'). This matches the other invocation of the grant copy hyper call (in netbk_tx_action). Did I fix it, though? I am confused as to how this could have ever worked.
