[Xen-devel] [PATCH] libxc: implement gnttab.set_max_grants for Linux


  • To: "xen-devel" <xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
  • From: "Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx>
  • Date: Fri, 11 May 2012 08:23:20 +0100
  • Delivery-date: Fri, 11 May 2012 07:23:29 +0000
  • List-id: Xen developer discussion <xen-devel.lists.xen.org>

Legacy (non-pvops) gntdev drivers may require this operation to be
performed when the number of grants intended to be used simultaneously
exceeds a certain driver specific default limit, and qemu's qdisk
driver is an example of needing to do so.
