[Xen-devel] [PATCH] x86/HVM: avoid pointer wraparound in bufioreq handling



The number of slots per page being 511 (i.e. not a power of two) means
that the (32-bit) read and write indexes going beyond 2^32 will likely
disturb operation. Extend I/O req server creation so the caller can
indicate that it is using suitable atomic accesses where needed (not
all accesses to the two pointers really need to be atomic), allowing
the hypervisor to atomically canonicalize both pointers when both have
gone through at least one cycle.

TBD: Do we need to be worried about non-libxc users of the changed
     (tools only) interface?
     Do we also need a way for default servers to flag atomicity?
