18 * This driver exists to allow userspace programs in Linux to allocate kernel
19 * memory that will later be shared with another domain. Without this device,
20 * Linux userspace programs cannot create grant references.
22 * How this stuff works:
23 * X -> granting a page to Y
24 * Y -> mapping the grant from X
26 * 1. X uses the gntalloc device to allocate a page of kernel memory, P.
27 * 2. X creates an entry in the grant table that says domid(Y) can access P.
28 * This is done without a hypercall unless the grant table needs expansion.
29 * 3. X gives the grant reference identifier, GREF, to Y.
30 * 4. Y maps the page, either directly into kernel memory for use in a backend
31 * driver, or via a the gntdev device to map into the address space of an
32 * application running in Y. This is the first point at which Xen does any
33 * tracking of the page.
34 * 5. A program in X mmap()s a segment of the gntalloc device that corresponds
35 * to the shared page, and can now communicate with Y over the shared page.
38 * NOTE TO USERSPACE LIBRARIES:
39 * The grant allocation and mmap()ing are, naturally, two separate operations.
40 * You set up the sharing by calling the create ioctl() and then the mmap().
41 * Teardown requires munmap() and either close() or ioctl().
43 * WARNING: Since Xen does not allow a guest to forcibly end the use of a grant
44 * reference, this device can be used to consume kernel memory by leaving grant
45 * references mapped by another domain when an application exits. Therefore,
46 * there is a global limit on the number of pages that can be allocated. When
47 * all references to the page are unmapped, it will be freed during the next
