     * expected when frontend and backend have different MAX_SKB_FRAGS.
     *
     * A better approach is to add mechanism for netfront / netback to
     * negotiate this value. However we cannot fix all possible
     * frontends, so we need to define a value which states the minimum
     * slots backend must support.
     *
     * The minimum value derives from older Linux kernel's MAX_SKB_FRAGS
     * (18), which is proved to work with most frontends. Any new backend
     * which doesn't negotiate with frontend should expect frontend to
     * send a valid packet using slots up to this value.

    /*
     * Multiple transmit and receive queues:
     * If supported, the backend will write the key "multi-queue-max-queues" to
     * the directory for that vif, and set its value to the maximum supported
     * number of queues.
     * Frontends that are aware of this feature and wish to use it can write the
     * key "multi-queue-num-queues", set to the number they wish to use, which
     * must be greater than zero, and no more than the value reported by the backend
     * in "multi-queue-max-queues".
     *
     * Queues replicate the shared rings and event channels.
     * "feature-split-event-channels" may optionally be used when using
     * multiple queues, but is not mandatory.
     *
     * Each queue consists of one shared ring pair, i.e. there must be the same
     * number of tx and rx rings.
     *
     * For frontends requesting just one queue, the usual event-channel and
     * ring-ref keys are written as before, simplifying the backend processing
     * to avoid distinguishing between a frontend that doesn't understand the
     * multi-queue feature, and one that does, but requested only one queue.
     *
     * Frontends requesting two or more queues must not write the toplevel
     * event-channel (or event-channel-{tx,rx}) and {tx,rx}-ring-ref keys,
     * instead writing those keys under sub-keys having the name "queue-N" where
     * N is the integer ID of the queue for which those keys belong. Queues
     * are indexed from zero. For example, a frontend with two queues and split
     * event channels must write the following set of queue-related keys:
     *
     * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/multi-queue-num-queues = "2"
     * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-0 = ""
     * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-0/tx-ring-ref = "<ring-ref-tx0>"
     * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-0/rx-ring-ref = "<ring-ref-rx0>"
     * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-0/event-channel-tx = "<evtchn-tx0>"
     * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-0/event-channel-rx = "<evtchn-rx0>"
     * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-1 = ""
     * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-1/tx-ring-ref = "<ring-ref-tx1>"
     * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-1/rx-ring-ref = "<ring-ref-rx1"
     * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-1/event-channel-tx = "<evtchn-tx1>"
     * /local/domain/1/device/vif/0/queue-1/event-channel-rx = "<evtchn-rx1>"
     *
     * If there is any inconsistency in the XenStore data, the backend may
     * choose not to connect any queues, instead treating the request as an
     * error. This includes scenarios where more (or fewer) queues were
     * requested than the frontend provided details for.
     *
     * Mapping of packets to queues is considered to be a function of the
     * transmitting system (backend or frontend) and is not negotiated
     * between the two. Guests are free to transmit packets on any queue
     * they choose, provided it has been set up correctly. Guests must be
     * prepared to receive packets on any queue they have requested be set up.

     * Control ring
     * ============
     *
     * Some features, such as hashing (detailed below), require a

     * backend. Use of xenstore is not suitable for large quantities of data
     * because of quota limitations and so a dedicated 'control ring' is used.

     * setting:
     *
     * /local/domain/X/backend/vif/<domid>/<vif>/feature-ctrl-ring = "1"
     *
     * The frontend provides a control ring to the backend by setting:
     *
     * /local/domain/<domid>/device/vif/<vif>/ctrl-ring-ref = <gref>
     * /local/domain/<domid>/device/vif/<vif>/event-channel-ctrl = <port>
     *
     * where <gref> is the grant reference of the shared page used to
     * implement the control ring and <port> is an event channel to be used
     * as a mailbox interrupt. These keys must be set before the frontend
     * moves into the connected state.
     *
     * The control ring uses a fixed request/response message size and is
     * balanced (i.e. one request to one response), so operationally it is much
     * the same as a transmit or receive ring.
     * Note that there is no requirement that responses are issued in the same
     * order as requests.

    /*
     * Link state
     * ==========

     * node. If this node is not present, then the frontend should assume that
     * the link is up (for compatibility with backends that do not implement
     * this feature). If this node is present, then a value of "0" should be

     * XEN_NETIF_CTRL_TYPE_GET_HASH_FLAGS
     * ----------------------------------
     *
     * This is sent by the frontend to query the types of hash supported by
     * the backend.
     *
     * Request:
     *
     *  type    = XEN_NETIF_CTRL_TYPE_GET_HASH_FLAGS
     *  data[0] = 0
     *  data[1] = 0
     *  data[2] = 0
     *
     * Response:
     *
     *  status = XEN_NETIF_CTRL_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED - Operation not supported
     *           XEN_NETIF_CTRL_STATUS_SUCCESS       - Operation successful
     *  data   = supported hash types (if operation was successful)
     *
     * NOTE: A valid hash algorithm must be selected before this operation can
     *       succeed.
     *
     * XEN_NETIF_CTRL_TYPE_SET_HASH_FLAGS
     * ----------------------------------
     *
     * This is sent by the frontend to set the types of hash that the backend
     * should calculate. (See above for hash type definitions).
     * Note that the 'maximal' type of hash should always be chosen. For
     * example, if the frontend sets both IPV4 and IPV4_TCP hash types then
     * the latter hash type should be calculated for any TCP packet and the
     * former only calculated for non-TCP packets.
     *
     * Request:
     *
     *  type    = XEN_NETIF_CTRL_TYPE_SET_HASH_FLAGS
     *  data[0] = bitwise OR of XEN_NETIF_CTRL_HASH_TYPE_* values
     *  data[1] = 0
     *  data[2] = 0
     *
     * Response:
     *
     *  status = XEN_NETIF_CTRL_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED     - Operation not
     *                                                     supported
     *           XEN_NETIF_CTRL_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER - One or more flag
     *                                                     value is invalid or
     *                                                     unsupported
     *           XEN_NETIF_CTRL_STATUS_SUCCESS           - Operation successful
     *  data   = 0
     *
     * NOTE: A valid hash algorithm must be selected before this operation can
     *       succeed.
     *       Also, setting data[0] to zero disables hashing and the backend
     *       is free to choose how it steers packets to queues.
     *
     * XEN_NETIF_CTRL_TYPE_SET_HASH_KEY
     * --------------------------------
     *
     * This is sent by the frontend to set the key of the hash if the algorithm
     * requires it. (See hash algorithms above).
     *
     * Request:
     *
     *  type    = XEN_NETIF_CTRL_TYPE_SET_HASH_KEY
     *  data[0] = grant reference of page containing the key (assumed to
     *            start at beginning of grant)
     *  data[1] = size of key in octets
     *  data[2] = 0
     *
     * Response:
     *
     *  status = XEN_NETIF_CTRL_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED     - Operation not
     *                                                     supported
     *           XEN_NETIF_CTRL_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER - Key size is invalid
     *           XEN_NETIF_CTRL_STATUS_BUFFER_OVERFLOW   - Key size is larger
     *                                                     than the backend
     *                                                     supports
     *           XEN_NETIF_CTRL_STATUS_SUCCESS           - Operation successful
     *  data   = 0
     *
     * NOTE: Any key octets not specified are assumed to be zero (the key
     *       is assumed to be empty by default) and specifying a new key
     *       invalidates any previous key, hence specifying a key size of
     *       zero will clear the key (which ensures that the calculated hash
     *       will always be zero).
     *       The maximum size of key is algorithm and backend specific, but
     *       is also limited by the single grant reference.
     *       The grant reference may be read-only and must remain valid until
     *       the response has been processed.
     *
     * XEN_NETIF_CTRL_TYPE_GET_HASH_MAPPING_SIZE
     * -----------------------------------------
     *
     * This is sent by the frontend to query the maximum size of mapping
     * table supported by the backend. The size is specified in terms of
     * table entries.
     *
     * Request:
     *
     *  type    = XEN_NETIF_CTRL_TYPE_GET_HASH_MAPPING_SIZE
     *  data[0] = 0
     *  data[1] = 0
     *  data[2] = 0
     *
     * Response:
     *
     *  status = XEN_NETIF_CTRL_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED - Operation not supported
     *           XEN_NETIF_CTRL_STATUS_SUCCESS       - Operation successful
     *  data   = maximum number of entries allowed in the mapping table
     *           (if operation was successful) or zero if a mapping table is
     *           not supported (i.e. hash mapping is done only by modular
     *           arithmetic).
     *
     * XEN_NETIF_CTRL_TYPE_SET_HASH_MAPPING_SIZE
     * -------------------------------------
     *
     * This is sent by the frontend to set the actual size of the mapping
     * table to be used by the backend. The size is specified in terms of
     * table entries.
     * Any previous table is invalidated by this message and any new table
     * is assumed to be zero filled.
     *
     * Request:
     *
     *  type    = XEN_NETIF_CTRL_TYPE_SET_HASH_MAPPING_SIZE
     *  data[0] = number of entries in mapping table

     *  data   = 0
     *
     * NOTE: Setting data[0] to 0 means that hash mapping should be done
     *       using modular arithmetic.
     *
     * XEN_NETIF_CTRL_TYPE_SET_HASH_MAPPING
     * ------------------------------------
     *
     * This is sent by the frontend to set the content of the table mapping
     * hash value to queue number. The backend should calculate the hash from
     * the packet header, use it as an index into the table (modulo the size
     * of the table) and then steer the packet to the queue number found at
     * that index.
     *
     * Request:
     *
     *  type    = XEN_NETIF_CTRL_TYPE_SET_HASH_MAPPING
     *  data[0] = grant reference of page containing the mapping (sub-)table
     *            (assumed to start at beginning of grant)
     *  data[1] = size of (sub-)table in entries
     *  data[2] = offset, in entries, of sub-table within overall table
     *

     *       The backend may support a mapping table larger than can be
     *       mapped by a single grant reference. Thus sub-tables within a
     *       larger table can be individually set by sending multiple messages
     *       with differing offset values. Specifying a new sub-table does not
     *       invalidate any table data outside that range.
     *       The grant reference may be read-only and must remain valid until
     *       the response has been processed.
     *
     * XEN_NETIF_CTRL_TYPE_GET_GREF_MAPPING_SIZE
     * -----------------------------------------
     *
     * This is sent by the frontend to fetch the number of grefs that can be kept
     * mapped in the backend.

     * id: reflects id in receive request
     * offset: offset in page of start of received packet
     * flags: NETRXF_*
     * status: -ve: NETIF_RSP_*; +ve: Rx'ed pkt size.
     *
     * NOTE: Historically, to support GSO on the frontend receive side, Linux
     *       netfront does not make use of the rx response id (because, as
     *       described below, extra info structures overlay the id field).
     *       Instead it assumes that responses always appear in the same ring
     *       slot as their corresponding request. Thus, to maintain
     *       compatibility, backends must make sure this is the case.
     *
     * Extra Info
     * ==========
     *
     * Can be present if initial request or response has NET{T,R}XF_extra_info,
     * or previous extra request has XEN_NETIF_EXTRA_MORE.
     *
     * The struct therefore needs to fit into either a tx or rx slot and
     * is therefore limited to 8 octets.
     *
     * NOTE: Because extra info data overlays the usual request/response
     *       structures, there is no id information in the opposite direction.
     *       So, if an extra info overlays an rx response the frontend can
     *       assume that it is in the same ring slot as the request that was
     *       consumed to make the slot available, and the backend must ensure
     *       this assumption is true.
