How come you use _ here but frontend-id has an '-'? Do you want to keep
them all the same?

I think that is given. You can have multiple NICs for example. I woudl
remove that sentence.

Can it be discontingous? Aka: 0, 1, 2, 5 ?

Oh, so they card_idx and drv_idx MUST be contingous? You may want
to say that in detail.

Can it be contingous or discountingous?

I don't see the frontend's default later in the doc?

Again, not seeing the frontend's default? Perhaps have:

"See XYZ"

Any ordering rules? Or can it be random: 44100;9600;0xFFFFF

And does it have to be decimal or can you use hex values?

Any ordering values? Can it be: "s16_be;s8" ?


And where can I find the frontend's default?

Where is the maximum stream value defined?

Or would that be channels-max?

Not sure I follow that sentence.

How come it is limited to 32 bytes?

Why two names?
CAn one of them be skipped (say you only want to use 'short-name' ?

I think the 'given' can go away. Why is there a limit of 80 characters?

But doesn't it have that already by the virtue of stream_idx ?

offset or index ?

What if it is more than one page? Would it spill over to the next 'offset' ?

I presume this is the first one? Or would it make sense to include the 'offset'
to mention which of the pages it has?

You could potentially have XENSND_OP_WRITE.offset=1 and right after
that have XENSND_OP_SET_VOLUME (and hopefully it would be using the next
grant page? But what if it wants to use a specific one - say always 255 one?)

Hmm, what about also including an 'int errno' which is more of an OS specific
value.

How come you pick 16, not say 32 or something more cache-line friendly?

It is OK to add padding.

You are putting an GPL header in the 'public' directory.

The public headers should be BSD, see COPYING in the root of Xen
directory.

Your previous file had the BSD, how come you are doing GPL here?

Hm, I recall folks frowning on using GCC-ism like this. These are
public headers and can be ingested by compilers like Microsoft
or other that don't grok __packet__.

Could you remove it and still make sure the structure has the right
size/offset? pahole helps a lot.
