[Xen-devel] [PATCH v5 0/4] introduce XENMEM_exchange_and_pin and XENMEM_unpin

[Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
this patch series introduces two new hypercalls to allow autotranslate
guests to allocate a contiguous buffer in machine addresses.
The XENMEM_exchange_and_pin returns the mfns and makes sure to pin the
pages so that the hypervisor won't change their p2m mappings while in
use.
XENMEM_unpin simply unpins the pages.

Cheers,

Stefano


Changes in v5:
- move donate_page to common code;
- update commit message;
- align tests;
- comment p2m_walker;
- fix return codes in p2m_walker;
- handle superpages in p2m_walker;
- rename _p2m_lookup to p2m_lookup_f;
- return -EBUSY when the P2M_DMA_PIN check fails;
- rename _guest_physmap_pin_range to pin_one_pte;
- rename _guest_physmap_unpin_range to unpin_one_pte;
- memory_exchange: handle guest_physmap_pin_range failures;
- make i an unsigned long in unpinned;
- add nr_unpinned to xen_unpin to report partial success.

Changes in v4:
- move steal_page to common code;
- introduce a generic p2m walker and use it in p2m_lookup,
  guest_physmap_pin_range and guest_physmap_unpin_range;
- return -EINVAL when the P2M_DMA_PIN check fails;
- change the printk into a gdprintk;
- add a comment on what type of page can be pinned;
- rename XENMEM_get_dma_buf to XENMEM_exchange_and_pin;
- rename XENMEM_get_dma_buf to XENMEM_unpin;
- move the pinning before we copy back the mfn to the guest;
- propagate errors returned by guest_physmap_pin_range;
- use xen_memory_exchange_t as parameter for XENMEM_exchange_and_pin;
- use an unsigned iterator in unpin;
- improve the documentation of the new hypercalls;
- add a note about out.address_bits for XENMEM_exchange.

Changes in v3:
- implement guest_physmap_pin_range and guest_physmap_unpin_range on
  ARM;
- implement XENMEM_put_dma_buf.

Changes in v2:
- actually don't print the warning more than once.
