[RFC,38/39] xen-blkback: xen_shim_domain() support

Commit Message

Joao Martins Feb. 20, 2019, 8:16 p.m. UTC

With xen_shim_domain() enabled, the struct pages used for grant mappings
are only valid in the interval between GNTTABOP_map_grant_ref and
GNTTABOP_unmap_grant_ref.

Ensure that we do not cache the struct page outside that duration.

Also, update the struct page for the segment after
GNTTABOP_map_grant_ref, for the subsequent tracking or when doing IO.

In addition, we disable persistent grants for this configuration, since
the map/unmap overhead is fairly small (in the fast path, page lookup,
get_page() and put_page().) This reduces the memory usage in
blkback/blkfront.
