Xen devel - Jul 2008 - Question about Using Grant Table

Hi:
    There is a code sample in <The Definite Guide to the Xen Hypervisor>,
chapter 4, "Using Grant Tables".
    The code sample is as following:
  #include <public/xen.h>
  extern void * shared_page;
  extern grant_entry_t  * grant_table;
  
  void offer_page()
   {
        uint16_t flags;
       /* create the grant table*/
      gnttab_setup_table_t setup_op;
     
     setup_op.dom ＝DOMID＿SELF；
     setup_op.nr_frames = 1;
     setup_op.frame_list = grant_table;
    
     HYPERVISOR_grant_table_op(GNTTABOP_setup_table, &setup_op, 1);

    /*offer the grant */
    grant_table[0].domid=DOMID_FRIEND;
    grant_table[0].frame = shared_page >>12;
    flgas = GTF_permit_access & GTF_reading & GTF_writing;
    grant_table[0].flags= flags;
  
    }
   
    and it also assume that the grant table entry have already been communicated
via Xenstore.
  
   My question is :
   If I modify this code sample and use it in my own program, How can I handle
"extern void * shared_page; extern grant_entry_t * grant_table"??
Where Can I get the pointer to them?

Thanks a lot.
                                                          Danius Wu

That code is not meant to be used in userlevel, but in a PV kernel.
If you want to manipulate grant tables from userland, use libxc''s
xc_gnttab_* functions.
