This scheme looks complicated. Can we just only use one
scheme at a time? What's the rationale for using this combined scheme?
Maybe you're thinking about using a max_grants < ring_size to save
memory?

Only skim the patch. I will do detailed reviews after we're sure this is
the right way to go.

You can just move the above two lines under `if (err)'.

Also see below.

If the init function fails on queue N (N>0) you now leak resources.

xenvif_pgrant_new can be called in NAPI which runs in softirq context
which doesn't allow you to sleep.

Under what circumstance can we retrieve a already in use persistent
grant? You seem to suggest this is a bug in RX case.

You can just move nr_cops to previous line.
