【XEN学习笔记】学习授权表(Grant Tables)

这篇文章会用－小段代码描述以下的内容:

- 两个Domain之间的内存页共享, Doamin0和DomainU

- 在这个页中设置一个共享ring

- 为共享ring设置event channel

- 在Dom0和DomU之间来回传递一些信息

介绍

在xen中的虚拟机被称为Domain. Domain0(Dom0)是特别的并拥有与正实设备交互的设备驱动, 例如网卡.这个驱动被称为后端驱动. 在我们的例子中这被称为后端domain.

在被称为 DomainU(DomU)的用户Domain有一个相应的前端驱动, 其是虚拟设备的接口,为和真实设备通信在DomU中前端驱动要连接后端驱动. 在我们以下的例子中, 这个DomU被称为前端Domain.

Xen为共享Domain间的内存提供了授权表(Grant Tables). 设备驱动使用授权表工作. 每个Domain有它自己的授权表, 并与xen共享. 在这个表中的条目由授权引用(grant references)所标识. 授权引用在Domain间传递, 且所引用的共享页由授权表所指向,domain也设置一个共享环结构(ring structure), 其用于在domain间有郊共享数据.

对于分离前/后端驱动, 前端分配一个用于共享通信 ring 的内存页, 授权它给后端domain, 并放授权引用到xenstore,

这样后端就能 map 这个页. 有共享ring这个页是一个主页, 用于传递更多的授权引用. 共享页由块设备和其它同步接收数

据的设备所使用, 异步接收数据的网络设备, 使用已知的 page flipping 方法, 这个页的所有权在Domain 间转移.

以上图展示了这个共享ring, 这个ring所有的公有和私有指针. "Request Producer" 和 "Responser Producer"是两个公共变量, 其会被共享这个页面的两者都看到. "Response Consumer" 是一个在前端(由前端设备所维护, 即DomU) ring 结构中指针. "Request Consumer" 是一个在后端(由后端设备维护, 即Dom0) ring 结构中的指针.

API 使用

在DomU kerenl中的前端驱动广告一个页面用于共享, 这通过 hypervisor 函数调用("hypercall"), (gnttab_grant_foreign_access 系统调用)完成. hypercall 通知 hypervisor 其它 domain 允许访问这个页. DomU然后传递引用 ID 给远端的 Domain 它是"授权"可访问的. 在我们的代码中, 这个访问授权给了 Dom0. 一但远端 domain 完成操作, 那么本地 domain 应调用gnttab_end_foreign_access删除授权.

网络设备和类似接收异步接收数据的其它设备. 使用已知的 page flipping 方法. 当页翻转时, 在本地 domain kernel中的驱动会广告一个用于转移的页, 经由 gnttab_grant_foregin_transfer 调用完成. 这个调用会通知 hypervisor其它domain可以接收这个页. 转移给远程domain的这个本地domain执行 free page. (经由producer/consumer ring).

Domain U Code

1 /* This file is run in the DomU Kernel.
2 * It grants a page with a shared ring structure on it to the Dom0.
3 * The grant reference and Event Channel is passed manually. Should be done via XenStore
4 * or some other out of band mechanism.
5 * Compile the code using
6 * make -C /lib/modules/$(shell uname -r)/build M=$(PWD) modules
7 * Run it as follows
8 * insmod xen-eg.ko
9 * Pick up the grant ref and event channel that comes out in /var/log/messages and pass as
10 * insmod parameters in the Dom0 module.
11 * Run the Dom0 program as follows
12 * insmod dom0.ko domid=<domid> gref=<gref>
13 * <domid> is the domainid of DomU as seen in "xm list"
14 * <gref> is grant refefrence when xen.ko is insmod
