Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] Paging and memory sharing for HVM guests

A new ioctl seems like the reasonable approach. And as you, say if we're
going to have a new ioctl, then let's do it right. When calling
xc_map_foreign_batch(), is there any requirement that the pfns you pass
in are contiguous (ordering incrementally)? If not, then I think
completely over-writing the MFNs is probably the wrong thing to do, as it
requires callers to keep two copies of the array to find out which pages
didn't map. I would be more in favour of returning a bit vector. As far
I would suggest you look in xen_exchange_memory in the linux kernel. One
of its customers is xen_create_contiguous_region which replaces MFNs
with ones underneath the 4GB.
There is a requirement in making the PFNs contigous but that is b/c
the Xen side loops over it assuming incremental order.
If we know that the PFNs have to be contiguous (and we're happy having this
be a requirement), then completely overwriting the MFNs is probably easier
than returning a bit vector (and wouldn't require extra support in libxc).
