The Xen hypercall interface is always using 4K page granularity on ARM and x86 architecture. With the incoming support of 64K page granularity for ARM64 guest, it won't be possible to re-use the Linux page definition in Xen drivers. Introduce Xen page definition helpers based on the Linux page definition. They have exactly the same name but prefixed with XEN_/xen_ prefix. Also modify page_to_pfn to use new Xen page definition. Signed-off-by: Julien Grall <redacted> Cc: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <redacted> Cc: Boris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com> Cc: David Vrabel <redacted> --- I'm wondering if we should drop page_to_pfn has the macro will likely misuse when Linux is using 64KB page granularity.I think we want xen_gfn_to_page() and xen_page_to_gfn() and Xen front/back drivers never deal with PFNs only GFNs.
What is xen_gfn_to_page and xen_page_to_gfn? Neither Linux, nor my series have them. Regards, -- Julien Grall
