This will be always the size of a grant (e.g xen page size), right? If so, I would prefer if you use XEN_PAGE_SIZE to so we can easily update Linux in the case Xen is using a different page size.

Note that the Front-end, Backend and Xen may use different page size, so your drivers would need to cope with that. The current approach is to always use the page granularity of Xen.

Will the following satisfy the requirement?
#define XENDISPL_EVENT_PAGE_SIZE XEN_PAGE_SIZE

+#define XENDISPL_IN_RING_OFFS (sizeof(struct xendispl_event_page))
+#define XENDISPL_IN_RING_SIZE (XENDISPL_EVENT_PAGE_SIZE - XENDISPL_IN_RING_OFFS) +#define XENDISPL_IN_RING_LEN (XENDISPL_IN_RING_SIZE / sizeof(struct xendispl_evt))
+#define XENDISPL_IN_RING(page) \
+    ((struct xendispl_evt *)((char *)(page) + XENDISPL_IN_RING_OFFS))
+#define XENDISPL_IN_RING_REF(page, idx) \
+    (XENDISPL_IN_RING((page))[(idx) % XENDISPL_IN_RING_LEN])

Cheers,

Thank you,
