[Xen-users] Looking for a way to share big buffer (>8MB) across different domains without data copy

[Dongwon Kim <downor@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am a newbie on Xen development and I am looking for a way to get
pages (frames)
shared among different domains. I saw using a grant-table is a
standard way to do it
by assigning and passing references for pages to be shared to the remote
domain.

However, I also saw there's a limitation in terms of size of grant
table, meaning we can
share only certain number of frames (e.g. 32). The buffer I want to
share is way bigger
than this (~8MB), so I think this is pretty big blocker for us. Am I
understanding about this
size limitation correctly?

If this restriction on # of frames is something that can't be easily
removed, I would like
to know if there's any other alternative way to achieve our goal
(sharing big buffer with more
than 2000 pages).

Thanks,
DW
