I'm not familiar with Xen stuff in general, but through a quick
glance, this kind of code worries me a bit.

If channel->u.req.ring.rsp_cons has a bogus number, this may lead to a
very long loop, no?  Better to have a sanity check of the ring buffer
size.
In this loop I have:
resp = RING_GET_RESPONSE(&channel->u.req.ring, i);
and the RING_GET_RESPONSE macro is designed in the way that
it wraps around when *i* in the question gets bigger than
the ring size:

#define RING_GET_REQUEST(_r, _idx)                    \
      (&((_r)->sring->ring[((_idx) & (RING_SIZE(_r) - 1))].req))

So, even if the counter has a bogus number it will not last long
Hm, this prevents from accessing outside the ring buffer, but does it
change the loop behavior?
no, it doesn't
Suppose channel->u.req.ring_rsp_cons = 1, and rp = 0, the loop below
would still consume the whole 32bit counts, no?

        for (i = channel->u.req.ring.rsp_cons; i != rp; i++) {
                resp = RING_GET_RESPONSE(&channel->u.req.ring, i);
                ...
        }
You are right here and the comment is totally valid.
I'll put an additional check like here [1] and here [2]
Will this address your comment?
Yep, this kind of sanity checks should work.

Great, will implement the checks this way then
thanks,
