52  * Feature and Parameter Negotiation
53  * =================================
54  * The two halves of a Xen block driver utilize nodes within the XenStore to
55  * communicate capabilities and to negotiate operating parameters.  This
56  * section enumerates these nodes which reside in the respective front and
57  * backend portions of the XenStore, following the XenBus convention.
58  *
59  * All data in the XenStore is stored as strings.  Nodes specifying numeric
60  * values are encoded in decimal.  Integer value ranges listed below are
61  * expressed as fixed sized integer types capable of storing the conversion
62  * of a properly formated node string, without loss of information.
63  *
64  * Any specified default value is in effect if the corresponding XenBus node
65  * is not present in the XenStore.
66  *
67  * XenStore nodes in sections marked "PRIVATE" are solely for use by the
68  * driver side whose XenBus tree contains them.
69  *
70  * XenStore nodes marked "DEPRECATED" in their notes section should only be
71  * used to provide interoperability with legacy implementations.
72  *
73  * See the XenBus state transition diagram below for details on when XenBus
74  * nodes must be published and when they can be queried.

80  *------------------ Backend Device Identification (PRIVATE) ------------------
81  *
82  * mode
83  *      Values:         "r" (read only), "w" (writable)
84  *
85  *      The read or write access permissions to the backing store to be
86  *      granted to the frontend.
87  *
88  * params
89  *      Values:         string
90  *
91  *      A free formatted string providing sufficient information for the
92  *      hotplug script to attach the device and provide a suitable
93  *      handler (ie: a block device) for blkback to use.
94  *
95  * physical-device
96  *      Values:         "MAJOR:MINOR"
97  *      Notes: 11
98  *
99  *      MAJOR and MINOR are the major number and minor number of the
100  *      backing device respectively.
101  *
102  * physical-device-path
103  *      Values:         path string
104  *
105  *      A string that contains the absolute path to the disk image. On
106  *      NetBSD and Linux this is always a block device, while on FreeBSD
107  *      it can be either a block device or a regular file.
108  *
109  * type
110  *      Values:         "file", "phy", "tap"
111  *
112  *      The type of the backing device/object.
113  *
114  *
115  * direct-io-safe
116  *      Values:         0/1 (boolean)
117  *      Default Value:  0
118  *
119  *      The underlying storage is not affected by the direct IO memory
120  *      lifetime bug.  See:
121  *        https://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2012-12/msg01154.html
122  *
123  *      Therefore this option gives the backend permission to use
124  *      O_DIRECT, notwithstanding that bug.
125  *
126  *      That is, if this option is enabled, use of O_DIRECT is safe,
127  *      in circumstances where we would normally have avoided it as a
128  *      workaround for that bug.  This option is not relevant for all
129  *      backends, and even not necessarily supported for those for
130  *      which it is relevant.  A backend which knows that it is not
131  *      affected by the bug can ignore this option.
132  *
133  *      This option doesn't require a backend to use O_DIRECT, so it
134  *      should not be used to try to control the caching behaviour.
135  *
136  *--------------------------------- Features ---------------------------------
137  *
138  * feature-barrier
139  *      Values:         0/1 (boolean)
140  *      Default Value:  0
141  *
142  *      A value of "1" indicates that the backend can process requests
143  *      containing the BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER request opcode.  Requests
144  *      of this type may still be returned at any time with the
145  *      BLKIF_RSP_EOPNOTSUPP result code.
146  *
147  * feature-flush-cache
148  *      Values:         0/1 (boolean)
149  *      Default Value:  0
150  *
151  *      A value of "1" indicates that the backend can process requests
152  *      containing the BLKIF_OP_FLUSH_DISKCACHE request opcode.  Requests
153  *      of this type may still be returned at any time with the
154  *      BLKIF_RSP_EOPNOTSUPP result code.
155  *
156  * feature-discard
157  *      Values:         0/1 (boolean)
158  *      Default Value:  0
159  *
160  *      A value of "1" indicates that the backend can process requests
161  *      containing the BLKIF_OP_DISCARD request opcode.  Requests
162  *      of this type may still be returned at any time with the
163  *      BLKIF_RSP_EOPNOTSUPP result code.
164  *
165  * feature-persistent
166  *      Values:         0/1 (boolean)
167  *      Default Value:  0
168  *      Notes: 7
169  *
170  *      A value of "1" indicates that the backend can keep the grants used
171  *      by the frontend driver mapped, so the same set of grants should be
172  *      used in all transactions. The maximum number of grants the backend
173  *      can map persistently depends on the implementation, but ideally it
174  *      should be RING_SIZE * BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST. Using this
175  *      feature the backend doesn't need to unmap each grant, preventing
176  *      costly TLB flushes. The backend driver should only map grants
177  *      persistently if the frontend supports it. If a backend driver chooses
178  *      to use the persistent protocol when the frontend doesn't support it,
179  *      it will probably hit the maximum number of persistently mapped grants
180  *      (due to the fact that the frontend won't be reusing the same grants),
181  *      and fall back to non-persistent mode. Backend implementations may
182  *      shrink or expand the number of persistently mapped grants without
183  *      notifying the frontend depending on memory constraints (this might
184  *      cause a performance degradation).
185  *
186  *      If a backend driver wants to limit the maximum number of persistently
187  *      mapped grants to a value less than RING_SIZE *
188  *      BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST a LRU strategy should be used to
189  *      discard the grants that are less commonly used. Using a LRU in the
190  *      backend driver paired with a LIFO queue in the frontend will
191  *      allow us to have better performance in this scenario.
192  *
193  *----------------------- Request Transport Parameters ------------------------
194  *
195  * max-ring-page-order
196  *      Values:         <uint32_t>
197  *      Default Value:  0
198  *      Notes:          1, 3
199  *
200  *      The maximum supported size of the request ring buffer in units of
201  *      lb(machine pages). (e.g. 0 == 1 page,  1 = 2 pages, 2 == 4 pages,
202  *      etc.).
203  *
204  * max-ring-pages
205  *      Values:         <uint32_t>
206  *      Default Value:  1
207  *      Notes:          DEPRECATED, 2, 3
208  *
209  *      The maximum supported size of the request ring buffer in units of
210  *      machine pages.  The value must be a power of 2.
211  *
212  *------------------------- Backend Device Properties -------------------------
213  *
214  * discard-enable
215  *      Values:         0/1 (boolean)
216  *      Default Value:  1
217  *
218  *      This optional property, set by the toolstack, instructs the backend
219  *      to offer (or not to offer) discard to the frontend. If the property
220  *      is missing the backend should offer discard if the backing storage
221  *      actually supports it.
222  *
223  * discard-alignment
224  *      Values:         <uint32_t>
225  *      Default Value:  0
226  *      Notes:          4, 5
227  *
228  *      The offset, in bytes from the beginning of the virtual block device,
229  *      to the first, addressable, discard extent on the underlying device.

237  *      of the underlying device.
238  *
239  * discard-secure
240  *      Values:         0/1 (boolean)
241  *      Default Value:  0
242  *      Notes:          10
243  *
244  *      A value of "1" indicates that the backend can process BLKIF_OP_DISCARD
245  *      requests with the BLKIF_DISCARD_SECURE flag set.
246  *
247  * info
248  *      Values:         <uint32_t> (bitmap)
249  *
250  *      A collection of bit flags describing attributes of the backing
251  *      device.  The VDISK_* macros define the meaning of each bit
252  *      location.
253  *
254  * sector-size
255  *      Values:         <uint32_t>
256  *
257  *      The logical block size, in bytes, of the underlying storage. This
258  *      must be a power of two with a minimum value of 512.
259  *
260  *      NOTE: Because of implementation bugs in some frontends this must be
261  *            set to 512, unless the frontend advertizes a non-zero value
262  *            in its "feature-large-sector-size" xenbus node. (See below).
263  *
264  * physical-sector-size
265  *      Values:         <uint32_t>
266  *      Default Value:  <"sector-size">
267  *
268  *      The physical block size, in bytes, of the backend storage. This
269  *      must be an integer multiple of "sector-size".

275  *      The product of "sector-size" and "sectors" must also be an integer
276  *      multiple of "physical-sector-size", if that node is present.

331  *
332  *--------------------------------- Features ---------------------------------
333  *
334  * feature-persistent
335  *      Values:         0/1 (boolean)
336  *      Default Value:  0
337  *      Notes: 7, 8, 9
338  *
339  *      A value of "1" indicates that the frontend will reuse the same grants
340  *      for all transactions, allowing the backend to map them with write
341  *      access (even when it should be read-only). If the frontend hits the
342  *      maximum number of allowed persistently mapped grants, it can fallback
343  *      to non persistent mode. This will cause a performance degradation,
344  *      since the the backend driver will still try to map those grants
345  *      persistently. Since the persistent grants protocol is compatible with
346  *      the previous protocol, a frontend driver can choose to work in
347  *      persistent mode even when the backend doesn't support it.
348  *
349  *      It is recommended that the frontend driver stores the persistently
350  *      mapped grants in a LIFO queue, so a subset of all persistently mapped
351  *      grants gets used commonly. This is done in case the backend driver
352  *      decides to limit the maximum number of persistently mapped grants
353  *      to a value less than RING_SIZE * BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST.
354  *
355  * feature-large-sector-size
356  *      Values:         0/1 (boolean)
357  *      Default Value:  0
358  *
359  *      A value of "1" indicates that the frontend will correctly supply and
360  *      interpret all sector-based quantities in terms of the "sector-size"
361  *      value supplied in the backend info, whatever that may be set to.
362  *      If this node is not present or its value is "0" then it is assumed
363  *      that the frontend requires that the logical block size is 512 as it
364  *      is hardcoded (which is the case in some frontend implementations).
365  *
366  *------------------------- Virtual Device Properties -------------------------
367  *
368  * device-type
369  *      Values:         "disk", "cdrom", "floppy", etc.
370  *
371  * virtual-device
372  *      Values:         <uint32_t>
373  *
374  *      A value indicating the physical device to virtualize within the
375  *      frontend's domain.  (e.g. "The first ATA disk", "The third SCSI
376  *      disk", etc.)

379  *      value.
380  *
381  * Notes
382  * -----
383  * (1) Multi-page ring buffer scheme first developed in the Citrix XenServer
384  *     PV drivers.
385  * (2) Multi-page ring buffer scheme first used in some RedHat distributions
386  *     including a distribution deployed on certain nodes of the Amazon
387  *     EC2 cluster.
388  * (3) Support for multi-page ring buffers was implemented independently,
389  *     in slightly different forms, by both Citrix and RedHat/Amazon.
390  *     For full interoperability, block front and backends should publish
391  *     identical ring parameters, adjusted for unit differences, to the
392  *     XenStore nodes used in both schemes.
393  * (4) Devices that support discard functionality may internally allocate space
394  *     (discardable extents) in units that are larger than the exported logical
395  *     block size. If the backing device has such discardable extents the
396  *     backend should provide both discard-granularity and discard-alignment.
397  *     Providing just one of the two may be considered an error by the frontend.
398  *     Backends supporting discard should include discard-granularity and
399  *     discard-alignment even if it supports discarding individual sectors.
400  *     Frontends should assume discard-alignment == 0 and discard-granularity
401  *     == sector size if these keys are missing.
402  * (5) The discard-alignment parameter allows a physical device to be
403  *     partitioned into virtual devices that do not necessarily begin or
404  *     end on a discardable extent boundary.
405  * (6) When there is only a single page allocated to the request ring,
406  *     'ring-ref' is used to communicate the grant reference for this
407  *     page to the backend.  When using a multi-page ring, the 'ring-ref'
408  *     node is not created.  Instead 'ring-ref0' - 'ring-refN' are used.
409  * (7) When using persistent grants data has to be copied from/to the page
410  *     where the grant is currently mapped. The overhead of doing this copy
411  *     however doesn't suppress the speed improvement of not having to unmap
412  *     the grants.
413  * (8) The frontend driver has to allow the backend driver to map all grants
414  *     with write access, even when they should be mapped read-only, since
415  *     further requests may reuse these grants and require write permissions.
416  * (9) Linux implementation doesn't have a limit on the maximum number of
417  *     grants that can be persistently mapped in the frontend driver, but
418  *     due to the frontent driver implementation it should never be bigger
419  *     than RING_SIZE * BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST.

426  * Multiple hardware queues/rings:
427  * If supported, the backend will write the key "multi-queue-max-queues" to
428  * the directory for that vbd, and set its value to the maximum supported
429  * number of queues.
430  * Frontends that are aware of this feature and wish to use it can write the
431  * key "multi-queue-num-queues" with the number they wish to use, which must be
432  * greater than zero, and no more than the value reported by the backend in
433  * "multi-queue-max-queues".
434  *
435  * For frontends requesting just one queue, the usual event-channel and
436  * ring-ref keys are written as before, simplifying the backend processing
437  * to avoid distinguishing between a frontend that doesn't understand the
438  * multi-queue feature, and one that does, but requested only one queue.
439  *
440  * Frontends requesting two or more queues must not write the toplevel
441  * event-channel and ring-ref keys, instead writing those keys under sub-keys
442  * having the name "queue-N" where N is the integer ID of the queue/ring for
443  * which those keys belong. Queues are indexed from zero.
444  * For example, a frontend with two queues must write the following set of
445  * queue-related keys:
446  *
447  * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/multi-queue-num-queues = "2"
448  * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-0 = ""
449  * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-0/ring-ref = "<ring-ref#0>"
450  * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-0/event-channel = "<evtchn#0>"
451  * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-1 = ""
452  * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-1/ring-ref = "<ring-ref#1>"
453  * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-1/event-channel = "<evtchn#1>"
454  *
455  * It is also possible to use multiple queues/rings together with
456  * feature multi-page ring buffer.
457  * For example, a frontend requests two queues/rings and the size of each ring
458  * buffer is two pages must write the following set of related keys:
459  *
460  * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/multi-queue-num-queues = "2"
461  * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/ring-page-order = "1"
462  * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-0 = ""
463  * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-0/ring-ref0 = "<ring-ref#0>"
464  * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-0/ring-ref1 = "<ring-ref#1>"
465  * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-0/event-channel = "<evtchn#0>"
466  * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-1 = ""
467  * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-1/ring-ref0 = "<ring-ref#2>"
468  * /local/domain/1/device/vbd/0/queue-1/ring-ref1 = "<ring-ref#3>"

527  *       o A frontend may transition to XenbusStateInitialised without
528  *         waiting for the backend to enter XenbusStateInitWait.  In this

530  *         transport parameters published by the frontend must contain
531  *         their default values.
532  *
533  *       o A backend may transition to XenbusStateInitialised, bypassing
534  *         XenbusStateInitWait, without waiting for the frontend to first
535  *         enter the XenbusStateInitialised state.  In this case, default
536  *         transport parameters are in effect and any transport parameters
537  *         published by the backend must contain their default values.
538  *
539  *       Drivers that support optional features and/or transport parameter
540  *       negotiation must tolerate these additional state transition paths.
541  *       In general this means performing the work of any skipped state
542  *       transition, if it has not already been performed, in addition to the
543  *       work associated with entry into the current state.
