[Xen-devel] [PATCH net-next V3 1/3] xen-netback: split event channels support for Xen backend driver



Netback and netfront only use one event channel to do TX / RX notification,
which may cause unnecessary wake-up of processing routines. This patch adds a
new feature called feature-split-event-channels to netback, enabling it to
handle TX and RX events separately.

Netback will use tx_irq to notify guest for TX completion, rx_irq for RX
notification.

If frontend doesn't support this feature, tx_irq equals to rx_irq.
