+ Support for virtio-like communication between host (H) and guest (G) NICs.
+
+ THIS IS EXPERIMENTAL CODE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE.
+
+ The guest allocates the shared Communication Status Block (csb) and
+ write its physical address at CSBAL and CSBAH (data is little endian).
+ csb->csb_on enables the mode. If disabled, the device acts a regular one.
+
+ Notifications for tx and rx are exchanged without vm exits
+ if possible. In particular (only mentioning csb mode below),
+ the following actions are performed. In the description below,
+ "double check" means verifying again the condition that caused
+ the previous action, and reverting the action if the condition has
+ changed. The condition typically depends on a variable set by the
+ other party, and the double check is done to avoid races. E.g.
+
+ // start with A=0
+ again:
+ // do something
+ if ( cond(C) ) { // C is written by the other side
+ A = 1;
+ // barrier
+ if ( !cond(C) ) {
+ A = 0;
+ goto again;
+ }
+ }
+
+ TX: start from idle:
+ H starts with host_need_txkick=1 when the I/O thread bh is idle. Upon new
+ transmissions, G always updates guest_tdt. If host_need_txkick == 1,
+ G also writes to the TDT, which acts as a kick to H (so pending
+ writes are always dispatched to H as soon as possible.)
+
+ TX: active state:
+ On the kick (TDT write) H sets host_need_txkick == 0 (if not
+ done already by G), and starts an I/O thread trying to consume
+ packets from TDH to guest_tdt, periodically refreshing host_tdh
+ and TDH. When host_tdh == guest_tdt, H sets host_need_txkick=1,
+ and then does the "double check" for race avoidance.
+
+ TX: G runs out of buffers
+ XXX there are two mechanisms, one boolean (using guest_need_txkick)
+ and one with a threshold (using guest_txkick_at). They are mutually
+ exclusive.
+ BOOLEAN: when G has no space, it sets guest_need_txkick=1 and does
+ the double check. If H finds guest_need_txkick== 1 on a write
+ to TDH, it also generates an interrupt.
+ THRESHOLD: G sets guest_txkick_at to the TDH value for which it
+ wants to receive an interrupt. When H detects that TDH moves
+ across guest_txkick_at, it generates an interrupt.
+ This second mechanism reduces the number of interrupts and
+ TDT writes on the transmit side when the host is too slow.
+
+ RX: start from idle
+ G starts with guest_need_rxkick = 1 when the receive ring is empty.
+ As packets arrive, H updates host_rdh (and RDH) and also generates an
+ interrupt when guest_need_rxkick == 1 (so incoming packets are
+ always reported to G as soon as possible, apart from interrupt
+ moderation delays). It also tracks guest_rdt for new buffers.
+
+ RX: active state
+ As the interrupt arrives, G sets guest_need_rxkick = 0 and starts
+ draining packets from the receive ring, while updating guest_rdt
+ When G runs out of packets it sets guest_need_rxkick=1 and does the
+ double check.
+
+ RX: H runs out of buffers
+ XXX there are two mechanisms, one boolean (using host_need_rxkick)
+ and one with a threshold (using host_xxkick_at). They are mutually
+ exclusive.
+ BOOLEAN: when H has no space, it sets host_need_rxkick=1 and does the
+ double check. If G finds host_need_rxkick==1 on updating guest_rdt,
+ it also writes to RDT causing a kick to H.
+ THRESHOLD: H sets host_rxkick_at to the RDT value for which it wants
+ to receive a kick. When G detects that guest_rdt moves across
+ host_rxkick_at, it writes to RDT thus generates a kick.
+ This second mechanism reduces the number of kicks and
+ RDT writes on the receive side when the guest is too slow and
+ would free only a few buffers at a time.
