/*
 * Older implementation of Xen network frontend / backend has an
 * implicit dependency on the MAX_SKB_FRAGS as the maximum number of
 * ring slots a skb can use. Netfront / netback may not work as
 * expected when frontend and backend have different MAX_SKB_FRAGS.
 *
 * A better approach is to add mechanism for netfront / netback to
 * negotiate this value. However we cannot fix all possible
 * frontends, so we need to define a value which states the minimum
 * slots backend must support.
 *
 * The minimum value derives from older Linux kernel's MAX_SKB_FRAGS
 * (18), which is proved to work with most frontends. Any new backend
 * which doesn't negotiate with frontend should expect frontend to
 * send a valid packet using slots up to this value.

#define XEN_NETIF_NR_SLOTS_MIN 18

/*
 * Notifications after enqueuing any type of message should be conditional on
 * the appropriate req_event or rsp_event field in the shared ring.
 * If the client sends notification for rx requests then it should specify
 * feature 'feature-rx-notify' via xenbus. Otherwise the backend will assume
 * that it cannot safely queue packets (as it may not be kicked to send them).
 */

 /*
 * "feature-split-event-channels" is introduced to separate guest TX
 * and RX notificaion. Backend either doesn't support this feature or
 * advertise it via xenstore as 0 (disabled) or 1 (enabled).
 *
 * To make use of this feature, frontend should allocate two event
 * channels for TX and RX, advertise them to backend as
 * "event-channel-tx" and "event-channel-rx" respectively. If frontend
 * doesn't want to use this feature, it just writes "event-channel"
 * node as before.
 */

/*
 * Multiple transmit and receive queues:
 * If supported, the backend will write the key "multi-queue-max-queues" to
 * the directory for that vif, and set its value to the maximum supported
 * number of queues.
 * Frontends that are aware of this feature and wish to use it can write the
 * key "multi-queue-num-queues", set to the number they wish to use, which
 * must be greater than zero, and no more than the value reported by the backend
 * in "multi-queue-max-queues".
 *
 * Queues replicate the shared rings and event channels.
 * "feature-split-event-channels" may optionally be used when using
 * multiple queues, but is not mandatory.
 *
 * Each queue consists of one shared ring pair, i.e. there must be the same
 * number of tx and rx rings.
 *
 * For frontends requesting just one queue, the usual event-channel and
 * ring-ref keys are written as before, simplifying the backend processing
 * to avoid distinguishing between a frontend that doesn't understand the
 * multi-queue feature, and one that does, but requested only one queue.
 *
 * Frontends requesting two or more queues must not write the toplevel
 * event-channel (or event-channel-{tx,rx}) and {tx,rx}-ring-ref keys,
 * instead writing those keys under sub-keys having the name "queue-N" where
 * N is the integer ID of the queue for which those keys belong. Queues
 * are indexed from zero. For example, a frontend with two queues and split
 * event channels must write the following set of queue-related keys:
 *
 * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/multi-queue-num-queues = "2"
 * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-0 = ""
 * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-0/tx-ring-ref = "<ring-ref-tx0>"
 * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-0/rx-ring-ref = "<ring-ref-rx0>"
 * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-0/event-channel-tx = "<evtchn-tx0>"
 * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-0/event-channel-rx = "<evtchn-rx0>"
 * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-1 = ""
 * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-1/tx-ring-ref = "<ring-ref-tx1>"
 * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-1/rx-ring-ref = "<ring-ref-rx1"
 * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-1/event-channel-tx = "<evtchn-tx1>"
 * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-1/event-channel-rx = "<evtchn-rx1>"
 *
 * If there is any inconsistency in the XenStore data, the backend may
 * choose not to connect any queues, instead treating the request as an
 * error. This includes scenarios where more (or fewer) queues were
 * requested than the frontend provided details for.
 *
 * Mapping of packets to queues is considered to be a function of the
 * transmitting system (backend or frontend) and is not negotiated
 * between the two. Guests are free to transmit packets on any queue
 * they choose, provided it has been set up correctly. Guests must be
 * prepared to receive packets on any queue they have requested be set up.

 * "feature-ipv6-csum-offload" should be used to turn IPv6 TCP/UDP checksum
 * offload on or off. If it is missing then the feature is assumed to be off.
