/*
* Feature and Parameter Negotiation
* =================================
* The two halves of a Xen block driver utilize nodes within the XenStore to
* communicate capabilities and to negotiate operating parameters. This
* section enumerates these nodes which reside in the respective front and
* backend portions of the XenStore, following the XenBus convention.
*
* All data in the XenStore is stored as strings. Nodes specifying numeric
* values are encoded in decimal. Integer value ranges listed below are
* expressed as fixed sized integer types capable of storing the conversion
* of a properly formated node string, without loss of information.
*
* Any specified default value is in effect if the corresponding XenBus node
* is not present in the XenStore.
*
* XenStore nodes in sections marked "PRIVATE" are solely for use by the
* driver side whose XenBus tree contains them.
*
* XenStore nodes marked "DEPRECATED" in their notes section should only be
* used to provide interoperability with legacy implementations.
*
* See the XenBus state transition diagram below for details on when XenBus
* nodes must be published and when they can be queried.
*
*****************************************************************************
* Backend XenBus Nodes
*****************************************************************************
*
*------------------ Backend Device Identification (PRIVATE) ------------------
*
* mode
* Values: "r" (read only), "w" (writable)
*
* The read or write access permissions to the backing store to be
* granted to the frontend.
*
* params
* Values: string
*
* A free formatted string providing sufficient information for the
* hotplug script to attach the device and provide a suitable
* handler (ie: a block device) for blkback to use.
*
* physical-device
* Values: "MAJOR:MINOR"
* Notes: 11
*
* MAJOR and MINOR are the major number and minor number of the
* backing device respectively.
*
* physical-device-path
* Values: path string
*
* A string that contains the absolute path to the disk image. On
* NetBSD and Linux this is always a block device, while on FreeBSD
* it can be either a block device or a regular file.
*
* type
* Values: "file", "phy", "tap"
*
* The type of the backing device/object.
*
*
* direct-io-safe
* Values: 0/1 (boolean)
* Default Value: 0
*
* The underlying storage is not affected by the direct IO memory
* lifetime bug. See:
* http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2012-12/msg01154.html
*
* Therefore this option gives the backend permission to use
* O_DIRECT, notwithstanding that bug.
*
* That is, if this option is enabled, use of O_DIRECT is safe,
* in circumstances where we would normally have avoided it as a
* workaround for that bug. This option is not relevant for all
* backends, and even not necessarily supported for those for
* which it is relevant. A backend which knows that it is not
* affected by the bug can ignore this option.
*
* This option doesn't require a backend to use O_DIRECT, so it
* should not be used to try to control the caching behaviour.
*
*--------------------------------- Features ---------------------------------
*
* feature-barrier
* Values: 0/1 (boolean)
* Default Value: 0
*
* A value of "1" indicates that the backend can process requests
* containing the BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER request opcode. Requests
* of this type may still be returned at any time with the
* BLKIF_RSP_EOPNOTSUPP result code.
*
* feature-flush-cache
* Values: 0/1 (boolean)
* Default Value: 0
*
* A value of "1" indicates that the backend can process requests
* containing the BLKIF_OP_FLUSH_DISKCACHE request opcode. Requests
* of this type may still be returned at any time with the
* BLKIF_RSP_EOPNOTSUPP result code.
*
* feature-discard
* Values: 0/1 (boolean)
* Default Value: 0
*
* A value of "1" indicates that the backend can process requests
* containing the BLKIF_OP_DISCARD request opcode. Requests
* of this type may still be returned at any time with the
* BLKIF_RSP_EOPNOTSUPP result code.
*
* feature-persistent
* Values: 0/1 (boolean)
* Default Value: 0
* Notes: 7
*
* A value of "1" indicates that the backend can keep the grants used
* by the frontend driver mapped, so the same set of grants should be
* used in all transactions. The maximum number of grants the backend
* can map persistently depends on the implementation, but ideally it
* should be RING_SIZE * BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST. Using this
* feature the backend doesn't need to unmap each grant, preventing
* costly TLB flushes. The backend driver should only map grants
* persistently if the frontend supports it. If a backend driver chooses
* to use the persistent protocol when the frontend doesn't support it,
* it will probably hit the maximum number of persistently mapped grants
* (due to the fact that the frontend won't be reusing the same grants),
* and fall back to non-persistent mode. Backend implementations may
* shrink or expand the number of persistently mapped grants without
* notifying the frontend depending on memory constraints (this might
* cause a performance degradation).
*
* If a backend driver wants to limit the maximum number of persistently
* mapped grants to a value less than RING_SIZE *
* BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST a LRU strategy should be used to
* discard the grants that are less commonly used. Using a LRU in the
* backend driver paired with a LIFO queue in the frontend will
* allow us to have better performance in this scenario.
*
*----------------------- Request Transport Parameters ------------------------
*
* max-ring-page-order
* Values: <uint32_t>
* Default Value: 0
* Notes: 1, 3
*
* The maximum supported size of the request ring buffer in units of
* lb(machine pages). (e.g. 0 == 1 page, 1 = 2 pages, 2 == 4 pages,
* etc.).
*
* max-ring-pages
* Values: <uint32_t>
* Default Value: 1
* Notes: DEPRECATED, 2, 3
*
* The maximum supported size of the request ring buffer in units of
* machine pages. The value must be a power of 2.
*
*------------------------- Backend Device Properties -------------------------
*
* discard-enable
* Values: 0/1 (boolean)
* Default Value: 1
*
* This optional property, set by the toolstack, instructs the backend
* to offer (or not to offer) discard to the frontend. If the property
* is missing the backend should offer discard if the backing storage
* actually supports it.
*
* discard-alignment
* Values: <uint32_t>
* Default Value: 0
* Notes: 4, 5
*
* The offset, in bytes from the beginning of the virtual block device,
* to the first, addressable, discard extent on the underlying device.
*
* discard-granularity
* Values: <uint32_t>
* Default Value: <"sector-size">
* Notes: 4
*
* The size, in bytes, of the individually addressable discard extents
* of the underlying device.
*
* discard-secure
* Values: 0/1 (boolean)
* Default Value: 0
* Notes: 10
*
* A value of "1" indicates that the backend can process BLKIF_OP_DISCARD
* requests with the BLKIF_DISCARD_SECURE flag set.
*
* info
* Values: <uint32_t> (bitmap)
*
* A collection of bit flags describing attributes of the backing
* device. The VDISK_* macros define the meaning of each bit
* location.
*
* sector-size
* Values: <uint32_t>
*
* The logical block size, in bytes, of the underlying storage. This
* must be a power of two with a minimum value of 512.
*
* NOTE: Because of implementation bugs in some frontends this must be
* set to 512, unless the frontend advertizes a non-zero value
* in its "feature-large-sector-size" xenbus node. (See below).
*
* physical-sector-size
* Values: <uint32_t>
* Default Value: <"sector-size">
*
* The physical block size, in bytes, of the backend storage. This
* must be an integer multiple of "sector-size".
*
* sectors
* Values: <uint64_t>
*
* The size of the backend device, expressed in units of "sector-size".
* The product of "sector-size" and "sectors" must also be an integer
* multiple of "physical-sector-size", if that node is present.
*
*****************************************************************************
* Frontend XenBus Nodes
*****************************************************************************
*
*----------------------- Request Transport Parameters -----------------------
*
* event-channel
* Values: <uint32_t>
*
* The identifier of the Xen event channel used to signal activity
* in the ring buffer.
*
* ring-ref
* Values: <uint32_t>
* Notes: 6
*
* The Xen grant reference granting permission for the backend to map
* the sole page in a single page sized ring buffer.
*
* ring-ref%u
* Values: <uint32_t>
* Notes: 6
*
* For a frontend providing a multi-page ring, a "number of ring pages"
* sized list of nodes, each containing a Xen grant reference granting
* permission for the backend to map the page of the ring located
* at page index "%u". Page indexes are zero based.
*
* protocol
* Values: string (XEN_IO_PROTO_ABI_*)
* Default Value: XEN_IO_PROTO_ABI_NATIVE
*
* The machine ABI rules governing the format of all ring request and
* response structures.
*
* ring-page-order
* Values: <uint32_t>
* Default Value: 0
* Maximum Value: MAX(ffs(max-ring-pages) - 1, max-ring-page-order)
* Notes: 1, 3
*
* The size of the frontend allocated request ring buffer in units
* of lb(machine pages). (e.g. 0 == 1 page, 1 = 2 pages, 2 == 4 pages,
* etc.).
*
* num-ring-pages
* Values: <uint32_t>
* Default Value: 1
* Maximum Value: MAX(max-ring-pages,(0x1 << max-ring-page-order))
* Notes: DEPRECATED, 2, 3
*
* The size of the frontend allocated request ring buffer in units of
* machine pages. The value must be a power of 2.
*
*--------------------------------- Features ---------------------------------
*
* feature-persistent
* Values: 0/1 (boolean)
* Default Value: 0
* Notes: 7, 8, 9
*
* A value of "1" indicates that the frontend will reuse the same grants
* for all transactions, allowing the backend to map them with write
* access (even when it should be read-only). If the frontend hits the
* maximum number of allowed persistently mapped grants, it can fallback
* to non persistent mode. This will cause a performance degradation,
* since the backend driver will still try to map those grants
* persistently. Since the persistent grants protocol is compatible with
* the previous protocol, a frontend driver can choose to work in
* persistent mode even when the backend doesn't support it.
*
* It is recommended that the frontend driver stores the persistently
* mapped grants in a LIFO queue, so a subset of all persistently mapped
* grants gets used commonly. This is done in case the backend driver
* decides to limit the maximum number of persistently mapped grants
* to a value less than RING_SIZE * BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST.
*
* feature-large-sector-size
* Values: 0/1 (boolean)
* Default Value: 0
*
* A value of "1" indicates that the frontend will correctly supply and
* interpret all sector-based quantities in terms of the "sector-size"
* value supplied in the backend info, whatever that may be set to.
* If this node is not present or its value is "0" then it is assumed
* that the frontend requires that the logical block size is 512 as it
* is hardcoded (which is the case in some frontend implementations).
*
*------------------------- Virtual Device Properties -------------------------
*
* device-type
* Values: "disk", "cdrom", "floppy", etc.
*
* virtual-device
* Values: <uint32_t>
*
* A value indicating the physical device to virtualize within the
* frontend's domain. (e.g. "The first ATA disk", "The third SCSI
* disk", etc.)
*
* See docs/misc/vbd-interface.txt for details on the format of this
* value.
*
* Notes
* -----
* (1) Multi-page ring buffer scheme first developed in the Citrix XenServer
* PV drivers.
* (2) Multi-page ring buffer scheme first used in some RedHat distributions
* including a distribution deployed on certain nodes of the Amazon
* EC2 cluster.
* (3) Support for multi-page ring buffers was implemented independently,
* in slightly different forms, by both Citrix and RedHat/Amazon.
* For full interoperability, block front and backends should publish
* identical ring parameters, adjusted for unit differences, to the
* XenStore nodes used in both schemes.
* (4) Devices that support discard functionality may internally allocate space
* (discardable extents) in units that are larger than the exported logical
* block size. If the backing device has such discardable extents the
* backend should provide both discard-granularity and discard-alignment.
* Providing just one of the two may be considered an error by the frontend.
* Backends supporting discard should include discard-granularity and
* discard-alignment even if it supports discarding individual sectors.
* Frontends should assume discard-alignment == 0 and discard-granularity
* == sector size if these keys are missing.
* (5) The discard-alignment parameter allows a physical device to be
* partitioned into virtual devices that do not necessarily begin or
* end on a discardable extent boundary.
* (6) When there is only a single page allocated to the request ring,
* 'ring-ref' is used to communicate the grant reference for this
* page to the backend. When using a multi-page ring, the 'ring-ref'
* node is not created. Instead 'ring-ref0' - 'ring-refN' are used.
* (7) When using persistent grants data has to be copied from/to the page
* where the grant is currently mapped. The overhead of doing this copy
* however doesn't suppress the speed improvement of not having to unmap
* the grants.
* (8) The frontend driver has to allow the backend driver to map all grants
* with write access, even when they should be mapped read-only, since
* further requests may reuse these grants and require write permissions.
* (9) Linux implementation doesn't have a limit on the maximum number of
* grants that can be persistently mapped in the frontend driver, but
* due to the frontent driver implementation it should never be bigger
* than RING_SIZE * BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST.
*(10) The discard-secure property may be present and will be set to 1 if the
* backing device supports secure discard.
*(11) Only used by Linux and NetBSD.

/*
* Multiple hardware queues/rings:
* If supported, the backend will write the key "multi-queue-max-queues" to
* the directory for that vbd, 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" with 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".
*
* 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 and ring-ref keys, instead writing those keys under sub-keys
* having the name "queue-N" where N is the integer ID of the queue/ring for
* which those keys belong. Queues are indexed from zero.
* For example, a frontend with two queues must write the following set of
* queue-related keys:
*
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/multi-queue-num-queues = "2"
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-0 = ""
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-0/ring-ref = "<ring-ref#0>"
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-0/event-channel = "<evtchn#0>"
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-1 = ""
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-1/ring-ref = "<ring-ref#1>"
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-1/event-channel = "<evtchn#1>"
*
* It is also possible to use multiple queues/rings together with
* feature multi-page ring buffer.
* For example, a frontend requests two queues/rings and the size of each ring
* buffer is two pages must write the following set of related keys:
*
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/multi-queue-num-queues = "2"
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/ring-page-order = "1"
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-0 = ""
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-0/ring-ref0 = "<ring-ref#0>"
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-0/ring-ref1 = "<ring-ref#1>"
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-0/event-channel = "<evtchn#0>"
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-1 = ""
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-1/ring-ref0 = "<ring-ref#2>"
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-1/ring-ref1 = "<ring-ref#3>"
* /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-1/event-channel = "<evtchn#1>"

* Drivers that support optional features and/or transport parameter
