- 两个Domain之间的内存页共享, Doamin0和DomainU- 在这个页中设置一个共享ring- 为共享ring设置event channel- 在Dom0和DomU之间来回传递一些信息介绍
在xen中的虚拟机被称为Domain. Domain0(Dom0)是特别的并拥有与正实设备交互的设备驱动, 例如网卡.这个驱动被称为后端驱动. 在我们的例子中这被称为后端domain.
在被称为 DomainU(DomU)的用户Domain有一个相应的前端驱动, 其是虚拟设备的接口,为和真实设备通信在DomU中前端驱动要连接后端驱动. 在我们以下的例子中, 这个DomU被称为前端Domain.
Xen为共享Domain间的内存提供了授权表(Grant Tables). 设备驱动使用授权表工作. 每个Domain有它自己的授权表, 并与xen共享. 在这个表中的条目由授权引用(grant references)所标识. 授权引用在Domain间传递, 且所引用的共享页由授权表所指向, domain也设置一个共享环结构(ring structure), 其用于在domain间有效共享数据.对于分离前/后端驱动, 前端分配一个用于共享通信 ring 的内存页, 授权它给后端domain, 并放授权引用到xenstore, 这样后端就能 map 这个页. 有共享ring这个页是一个主页, 用于传递更多的授权引用. 共享页由块设备和其它同步接收数据的设备所使用, 异步接收数据的网络设备, 使用已知的 page flipping 方法, 这个页的所有权在Domain 间转移. 以上图展示了这个共享ring, 这个ring所有的公有和私有指针. "Request Producer" 和 "Responser Producer"是两个公共变量, 其会被共享这个页面的两者都看到. "Response Consumer" 是一个在前端(由前端设备所维护, 即DomU) ring 结构中指针. "Request Consumer" 是一个在后端(由后端设备维护, 即Dom0) ring 结构中的指针.API 使用
在DomU kerenl中的前端驱动广告一个页面用于共享, 这通过 hypervisor 函数调用("hypercall"), (gnttab_grant_foreign_access 系统调用)完成. hypercall 通知 hypervisor 其它 domain 允许访问这个页. DomU然后传递引用 ID 给远端的 Domain 它是"授权"可访问的. 在我们的代码中, 这个访问授权给了 Dom0. 一但远端 domain 完成操作, 那么本地 domain 应调用gnttab_end_foreign_access删除授权.
网络设备和类似接收异步接收数据的其它设备. 使用已知的 page flipping 方法. 当 页翻转时, 在本地 domain kernel中的驱动会广告一个用于转移的页, 经由 gnttab_grant_foregin_transfer 调用完成. 这个调用会通知 hypervisor其它domain可以接收这个页. 转移给远程domain的这个本地domain执行 free page. (经由producer/consumer ring).

里面的备注可以多多少少增进一下大家对函数以及结构体的理解,现在我们大体说一下:
int send_request_to_dom0(void) 将请求写入RING之后再通过RING到达backend
file_write() 和file_read() 与将buff内容从用户控件写入内核空间proc_data在写入page中
create_procfs_entry()创建虚拟文件及文件夹
init_module() 为page分配内核空间,并设置共享RING及初始化前端RING,并验证是否可以被共享映射,为了验证在page中写入字符串"aseem sethi"。建立事件通道。gref和事件通道port需要在Dom0代码中手动加入。
cleanup_module()检查时候有dom映射过此页面,撤销映射,并且删除在/proc下的文件。

下面继续大致分析一下流程:
irqreturn_t as_int ()查看RING是否溢出,取得请求,取得回复,之后是检查RING中是否还有请求。这里需要大家有一些RING环的知识。关于barrier()函数,我这里有一个网址推荐
http://www.cnblogs.com/whyandinside/archive/2012/11/07/2759014.html
init_module(void) 映射到自己空间,并分配虚拟地址,验证addr地址中的字符串。
最后就是取消映射了
