[Xen-devel] [PATCH] Add grant references for fbfront/kbdfront

This series fixes the interface for the fbfront and kbdfront devices,
which were storing MFNs in xenstore rather than creating grant table
entries. To maintain backwards compatibility, a different xenstore key
is used (page-gref instead of page-ref) and the use of grants must be
requested for fbfront (because two levels of page references are
embedded within the shared page). This makes it possible to move a
display server out of dom0 without giving the display domain full
access to other domain''s memory.

[PATCH 1/3] xen-fbfront: Read width/height from backend
	Note: Not directly related, just used by display server.
[PATCH 2/3] xen-fbfront: Use grant references when requested
[PATCH 3/3] xen-kbdfront: Add grant reference for shared page

[Xen-devel] [PATCH 1/3] xen-fbfront: Read width/height from backend

From: Daniel De Graaf <dgdegra@tycho.nsa.gov>

This allows the backend driver to specify the size of the framebuffer
instead of requiring it to be on the kernel command line.

[Xen-devel] [PATCH 2/3] xen-fbfront: Use grant references when requested

From: Daniel De Graaf <dgdegra@tycho.nsa.gov>

The current version of the Xen framebuffer API passes MFNs directly
to the backend driver, which requires the backend to have full access
to this domain''s memory. Add a parameter in xenbus to request the use
of
grant entries instead, which are slightly slower to map but provide
inter-domain isolation.

[Xen-devel] [PATCH 3/3] xen-kbdfront: Add grant reference for shared page

From: Daniel De Graaf <dgdegra@tycho.nsa.gov>

Without a grant reference, full access to the domain''s memory is
required to use the shared page. Add an additional parameter in
xenstore to allow grant mapping to be used.

They apply to either 2.6.32 or 2.6.37; I have tested them on both.

Are there matching backend patches somewhere?

What is the 2.6.37 branch you applied it to? Can you point me to the
git tree? Or a set of patches that need to be applied on top of ftp.kernel.org
virgin 2.6.37?

It should apply on top of any 2.6.37 tree; I sent the patches from a
rebase on top of the v2.6.37 tag on ftp.kernel.org. They should apply
cleanly on any branch unless I missed other pending changes to fbfront.

They do. The mail file I had with your name had patches for 2.6.32 which
did not apply on 2.6.37.

Is this something you are working on? It''s a bit hard to evaluate the
frontend changes without the equivalent backend patches.

There doesn''t seem to be any negotiation with the backend about whether
or not grants should be used so there is no way for a backend to know if
it can choose to set this flag or not, granted not all backends will
have a choice due to their privilege level.

More importantly there is also no way for the backend to figure out is
the frontend is going to obey the request if it does write it (at least
until it tries to map a gref and fails because its really got an mfn).

Usually both front and backend would write a feature-foo node to their
respective directory in xenstore and then figure out what to do based on
what the other end wrote.

In the kbdfront patch you simply write both the mfn and the grant
reference to xenstore, presumably the backend then just picks for itself
which access method to use, could that approach be applicable here?

There seems to be slack in xenfb_page which could accommodate a second
pd array containing grefs for the pages. The presence of a page-gref
node in xenstore would indicate that the larger structure with the grefs
is in use.

Ian.

Do you plan to plumb this up through the toolstack so it can be defined
guest configuration file?

I wonder if it might be useful to allow the backend to specify a maximum
size but to allow the frontend to pick a resolution within that
constraint and communicate the choice to the backend.

The "use-grants" flag is a request by the backend; older versions will
ignore
it, newer versions (may) honor it.

The key used in xenstore (page-gref versus page-ref) tells the backend if
the request was honored. If the backend is unable to map MFNs, then it will
fail if page-gref is not present; otherwise, it can fall back to the old
MFN mapping.

Perhaps "use-grants" should be renamed to "feature-grants"?
I thought the
frontend writing a feature-grants node would be redundant since the
page-gref node already communicated what was chosen.

Possible, but it would waste a bit of memory (a few extra pages for the
MFN tables in addition to the grant-ref tables). If this isn''t an
issue,
then fbfront can expose both and allow the backend to choose without any
negotiation. Is this preferred?

Yes, there is space in xenfb_page, since grants are always 32-bit numbers.
The offset will be different depending on sizeof(unsigned long) in the guest,
due to bad design of the shared page, but that''s not hard to work
around.
Alternatively, we could put in some padding to fix the offset.

Possibly, although it may end up being redundant with the kernel parameter
in the domU command line. My current use for this is to communicate a target
resolution for guests from my fixed-size display server (derived from the
monitor by the display server); this doesn''t really translate for VNC,
although it would for fullscreen SDL.

I''m not sure I see a use for the frontend to choose a smaller
resolution
than the backend suggests in some automatic way; it''s certainly
possible by
specifying whatever you want on the command line of the domU kernel.

Actually, after looking at xenfb_page again, there isn''t room, and the
current
structure in the linux kernel is very misleading. Offset 1024 in the structure
is the start of the incoming ring buffer, and offset 2048 is the outgoing ring
buffer. The existing pd array overlaps both of these ring buffers (on 64-bit;
on 32-bit it only overlaps the incoming ring).

I think it would be more consistent with the other protocols (and the
existing feature-update in the fb protocol) to do so. Also use-grants
sounds a bit like a command rather than a suggestion to me.

Since you''ve already got the negotiation aspect covered I
don''t think
there is any need go down this path.

Thanks for this.  I''ll be looking for an ack from Stefano at least.

However, as a new feature this comes too late for the Xen 4.1 release.
If the conversation isn''t still going on then, can you make sure you
repost it when we make the 4.1 release branch, at which point we''ll be
able to apply it to the xen-unstable which will become 4.2.

Ian.

I lost track of this patchset. I think we need to first have somebody
familiar with QEMU review these patches.

It looks OK in principle. It has some code style issues, in particular
qemu uses spaces instead of tabs.

This patch needs to be sent to qemu-devel too (in fact considering that
it is not going to be applied to qemu-xen 4.1 and that we are going to
move to upstream qemu in the 4.2 release cycle, it only matters if
upstream qemu applies it).
