Feel free to add my Reviewed-by as I see that you already removed the mention of 'RFC' from it. Thank you. ___ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org https://lists.xen.org/xen-devel

I think the text is clear enough now. Now for the netfront/netback patches :-)

[Xen-devel] [PATCH v4 1/1] public/io/netif.h: add gref mapping control messages
Adds 3 messages to allow guest to let backend keep grants mapped,
such that 1) guests allowing fast recycling of pages can avoid doing
grant ops for those cases, or otherwise 2) preferring copies over
grants and 3) always using a fixed set of pages for network I/O.
The three control ring messages added are:
- Add grefs to be mapped by backend
- Remove grefs mappings (If they are not in use)
- Get maximum amount of grefs kept mapped.

v4:
* Declare xen_netif_gref parameters are input or output.
* Clarify status field and that it doesn't require to be set to zero
prior to its usage.
* Clarify on ADD_GREF_MAPPING is 'all or nothing'
* Improve last paragraph of DEL_GREF_MAPPING
v3:
* Use DEL for unmapping grefs instead of PUT
* Rname from xen_netif_gref_alloc to xen_netif_gref
* Add 'status' field on xen_netif_gref
* Clarify what 'inflight' means
* Use "beginning of the page" instead of "beginning of the grant"
* Mention that page needs to be r/w (as it will have to modify \.status)
