[PATCH v3 15/20] block/xen-blkfront: Make it running on 64KB page granularity

From: Julien Grall
Date: Fri Aug 07 2015 - 13:15:53 EST

The PV block protocol is using 4KB page granularity. The goal of this
patch is to allow a Linux using 64KB page granularity using block
device on a non-modified Xen.

The block API is using segment which should at least be the size of a
Linux page. Therefore, the driver will have to break the page in chunk
of 4K before giving the page to the backend.

Breaking a 64KB segment in 4KB chunk will result to have some chunk with
no data. As the PV protocol always require to have data in the chunk, we
have to count the number of Xen page which will be in use and avoid to
sent empty chunk.

Note that, a pre-defined number of grant is reserved before preparing
the request. This pre-defined number is based on the number and the
maximum size of the segments. If each segment contain a very small
amount of data, the driver may reserve too much grant (16 grant is
reserved per segment with 64KB page granularity).

Futhermore, in the case of persistent grant we allocate one Linux page
per grant although only the 4KB of the page will be effectively use.
This could be improved by share the page with multiple grants.

Improvement such as support 64KB grant is not taken into consideration in
this patch because we have the requirement to run a Linux using 64KB page
on a non-modified Xen.

Royger, I haven't retain your acked-by because of some changes which
were not because of naming modifications.

Changes in v3:
- Use DIV_ROUND_UP in INDIRECT_GREFS
- Split lines over 80 characters whenever it's possible
- s/mfn/gfn/ based on the new naming
- The grant callback doesn't allow anymore to change the len
(wasn't used here).
- gnttab_foreach_grant has been renamed to gnttab_foreach_grant_in_range
- Use gnttab_count_grant to get the number of grants in a sg
- Do some renaming to use the correct variable every time

Changes in v2:
- Use gnttab_foreach_grant to split a Linux page into grant
