[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] [PATCH] evtchn: make support for different ABIs tunable
Adding support for FIFO event channel ABI was first introduced in Xen 4.4
(see 88910061ec6). Make this support tunable, since the choice of which
event channel ABI has implications for hibernation. Consider resuming a
pre Xen 4.4 hibernated Linux guest. The guest boot kernel defaults to FIFO
ABI, whereas the resume kernel assumes 2L. This, in turn, results in Xen
and the resumed kernel talking past each other (due to different protocols
FIFO vs 2L).
In order to announce to guests that the event channel ABI does not support
FIFO, the hypervisor returns ENOSYS on init_control operation. When this
operation fails, the guest should continue to use the 2L event channel ABI.
For example, in Linux drivers/xen/events/events_base.c:
if (fifo_events)
ret = xen_evtchn_fifo_init();
if (ret < 0)
xen_evtchn_2l_init();
and xen_evtchn_fifo_init fails when EVTCHNOP_init_control fails. This commit
does not change the current default behaviour: announce FIFO event channels
ABI support for guests unless explicitly stated otherwise at domaincreate.
