Suggest an additional section on the design of the Linux/guest side. > IOMMUOP_map_page > ---------------- > First argument, pointer to array of `struct iommu_map_op` > Second argument, integer count of `struct iommu_map_op` elements in array Perhaps a C function prototype here would be clearer? > The IOMMU TLB will only be flushed when the hypercall completes or a > hypercall > continuation is created. The IOMMU TLB flush should be when all the ops are complete. There's no need to flush when doing a continuation. > Field Purpose > ----- --------------------------------------------------------------- > `bfn` [in] Bus address frame number to mapped to specified mfn > below > > `mfn` [in] Machine address frame number > > `flags` [in] Flags for signalling type of IOMMU mapping to be > created > > `status` [out] Mapping status of this map operation, 0 indicates > success Need to define the failure codes.

And similarly for unmap. David _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
