Not tested in any way. The original code for offload setting seems broken as it resets the features on every netback reconnect. This will set GSO_ROBUST at device creation time (earlier than connect time). RX checksum offload is forced on - so advertise as it is. Signed-off-by: Micha?

This patch adds code to handle SKB_GSO_TCPV6 skbs and construct appropriate extra or prefix segments to pass the large packet to the frontend. New xenstore flags, feature-gso-tcpv6 and feature-gso-tcpv6-prefix, are sampled to determine if the frontend is capable of handling such packets.

Add xs_reset_watches function to shutdown watches from old kernel after kexec boot. The old kernel does not unregister all watches in the shutdown path. They are still active, the double registration can not be detected by the new kernel. When the watches fire, unexpected events will arrive and the xenwatch thread will crash (jumps to NULL). An orderly reboot of a hvm guest will destroy the

Netback and netfront only use one event channel to do tx / rx notification. This may cause unnecessary wake-up of process routines. This patch adds a new feature called feautre-split-event-channel to netback, enabling it to handle Tx and Rx event separately. Netback will use tx_irq to notify guest for tx completion, rx_irq for rx notification. If frontend doesn''t support this feature,

This patch adds a new feature called feature-split-event-channels for netfront, enabling it to handle TX and RX events separately. If netback does not support this feature, it falls back to use single event channel.

From: Ben Cressey <bcressey@amazon.com> The commit "minios: refactor xenbus state machine" caused "/state" to be appended to the local value of nodename. Previously the nodename variable pointed to dev->nodename. The xenbus_rm() calls were not updated to reflect this change, and refer to paths that do not exist. For example, shutdown_blkfront() for vbd 2049 would
