[Xen-devel] [PATCH 2/2] xen-gntalloc: Userspace grant allocation driver



This allows a userspace application to allocate a shared page for
implementing inter-domain communication or device drivers. These
shared pages can be mapped using the gntdev device or by the kernel
in another domain.

+/*
+ * This driver exists to allow userspace programs in Linux to allocate kernel
+ * memory that will later be shared with another domain.  Without this device,
+ * Linux userspace programs cannot create grant references.
+ *
+ * How this stuff works:
+ *   X -> granting a page to Y
+ *   Y -> mapping the grant from X
+ *
+ *   1. X uses the gntalloc device to allocate a page of kernel memory, P.
+ *   2. X creates an entry in the grant table that says domid(Y) can
+ *      access P.
+ *   3. X gives the grant reference identifier, GREF, to Y.
+ *   4. A program in Y uses the gntdev device to map the page (owned by X
+ *      and identified by GREF) into domain(Y) and then into the address
+ *      space of the program.  Behind the scenes, this requires a
+ *      hypercall in which Xen modifies the host CPU page tables to
+ *      perform the sharing -- that's where the actual cross-domain mapping
+ *      occurs.
+ *   5. A program in X mmap()s a segment of the gntalloc device that
+ *      corresponds to the shared page.
+ *   6. The two userspace programs can now communicate over the shared page.
+ *
+ *
+ * NOTE TO USERSPACE LIBRARIES:
+ *   The grant allocation and mmap()ing are, naturally, two separate
+ *   operations.  You set up the sharing by calling the create ioctl() and
+ *   then the mmap().  You must tear down the sharing in the reverse order
+ *   (munmap() and then the destroy ioctl()).
+ *
+ * WARNING: Since Xen does not allow a guest to forcibly end the use of a grant
+ * reference, this device can be used to consume kernel memory by leaving grant
+ * references mapped by another domain when an application exits. Therefore,
+ * there is a global limit on the number of pages that can be allocated. When
+ * all references to the page are unmapped, it will be freed during the next
+ * grant operation.
