Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2012 14:45:18 +0000 From: Wei Liu <wei.liu2@...rix.com> To: netdev@...r.kernel.org, xen-devel@...ts.xensource.com CC: ian.campbell@...rix.com, konrad.wilk@...cle.com Subject: [RFC PATCH V3] Xen netback / netfront improvement Since this series includes both netback and netfront changes, the whole series is named as "Xen netback / netfront improvement". Changes in V3: - Rework of per-cpu scratch space - Multi page ring support - Split event channels - Rx protocol stub - Fix a minor bug in module_put path Changes in V2: - Fix minor bugs in V1 - Embed pending_tx_info into page pool - Per-cpu scratch space - Notification code path clean up This version has been tested by Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@...cle.com> V1: A new netback implementation which includes three major features: - Global page pool support - NAPI + kthread 1:1 model - Netback internal name changes This patch series is the foundation of furture work. So it is better to get it right first. Patch 1 and 3 have the real meat. The first benifit of 1:1 model will be scheduling fairness. The rational behind a global page pool is that we need to limit overall memory consumed by all vifs. Utilization of NAPI enables the possibility to mitigate interrupts/events, the code path is cleaned up in a separated patch. Netback internal changes cleans up the code structure after switching to 1:1 model. It also prepares netback for further code layout changes. ---- drivers/net/xen-netback/Makefile | 2 +- drivers/net/xen-netback/common.h | 149 ++- drivers/net/xen-netback/interface.c | 256 ++++-- drivers/net/xen-netback/netback.c | 1344 +++++++------------------ drivers/net/xen-netback/page_pool.c | 185 ++++ drivers/net/xen-netback/page_pool.h | 66 ++ drivers/net/xen-netback/xenbus.c | 185 ++++- drivers/net/xen-netback/xenvif_rx_protocol0.c | 616 +++++++++++ drivers/net/xen-netback/xenvif_rx_protocol0.h | 53 + drivers/net/xen-netfront.c | 399 ++++++-- 10 files changed, 2062 insertions(+), 1193 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
