Hi, Ubuntu 10.04 x64 installing xen4.0 testing when compiling kernel 2.6.32.16 from jeremy git i get this error: WARNING: modpost: Found 7 section mismatch(es).

time_after_eq() only works if the delta is < MAX_ULONG/2. For a 32bit Dom0, if netfront sends packets at a very low rate, the time between subsequent calls to tx_credit_exceeded() may exceed MAX_ULONG/2 and the test for timer_after_eq() will be incorrect. Credit will not be replenished and the guest may become unable to send packets (e.g., if prior to the long gap, all credit was exhausted).

There is a typo here, "i" vs "j", so we would crash on module_exit().

The code to detect fragments in checksum_setup() was missing for IPv4 and too eager for IPv6. (It transpires that Windows seems to send IPv6 packets with a fragment header even if they are not a fragment - i.e. offset is zero, and M bit is not set).

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,

Some old Windows frontends fail to transition through the xenbus Closing state and move directly from Connected to Closed. Handle this case properly.

VM traffic is already limited by a throughput limit, but there is no control over the maximum packet per second (PPS). In DDOS attack the major issue is rather PPS than throughput. With provider offering more bandwidth to VMs, it becames easy to coordinate a massive attack using VMs. Example: 100Mbits ~ 200kpps using 64B packets. This patch provides a new option to limit VMs maximum packets per

I''m trying to improve performance on the gpl pv drivers for windows, and am running into trouble with the sg stuff on the tx path. Taking an icmp packet as an example, windows formats the packet like this: sg entry 0 - Ethernet header sg entry 1 - IP header sg entry 2 - payload Those pieces could be anywhere inside the page. In netback.c, it appears that the sg magic happens inside

This is netback multithread support patchset version 4. Main Changes from v3: 1. Patchset is against xen/next tree. 2. Merge group and idx into netif->mapping. 3. Use vmalloc to allocate netbk structures. Main Changes from v2: 1. Merge "group" and "idx" into "netif->mapping", therefore page_ext is not used now. 2. Put netbk_add_netif() and netbk_remove_netif()

When counting required slots for skb, netback directly uses DIV_ROUND_UP to get slots required by header data. This is wrong when offset in the page of header data is not zero, and is also inconsistent with following calculation for required slot in netbk_gop_skb. In netbk_gop_skb, required slots are calculated based on offset and len in page of header data. It is possible that required slots

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.
