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
It is already defined in include/xen/page.h
Thank you, Stefano, but I meant if the change below
will fit the requirement, e.g. what Julien means is:
-#define XENDISPL_EVENT_PAGE_SIZE 4096
+#define XENDISPL_EVENT_PAGE_SIZE XEN_PAGE_SIZE
Julien, does this change work for you?


+#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])
+
+#endif /* __XEN_PUBLIC_IO_DISPLIF_H__ */
