[Xen-devel] xen_create_contiguous_region - Regarding

[Jambunathan K <jambunathan@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Our driver maintains it's own set of bounce buffers rather than relying
on swiotlb.

Some context info could be accessed from this thread in the netdev
mailing list - http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=116430007806101&w=2

Given that we prefer to maintain our own bounce buffers, I could neither
find a dependable API that let the driver allocate machine contiguous
memory (that could later be *pci_map_singled*) nor find a suitable hook
to xen_create_contiguous_region.

As an aside, is there a tweak to "increase" contiguous memory regions
available so that xen_create_contiguous_regions() succeeds. On DomUs,
when swiotlb is enabled, I see some crashes which I would like to avoid
by redistributing memory resources.
