16  * Older implementation of Xen network frontend / backend has an
17  * implicit dependency on the MAX_SKB_FRAGS as the maximum number of
18  * ring slots a skb can use. Netfront / netback may not work as
19  * expected when frontend and backend have different MAX_SKB_FRAGS.
20  *
21  * A better approach is to add mechanism for netfront / netback to
22  * negotiate this value. However we cannot fix all possible
23  * frontends, so we need to define a value which states the minimum
24  * slots backend must support.
25  *
26  * The minimum value derives from older Linux kernel's MAX_SKB_FRAGS
27  * (18), which is proved to work with most frontends. Any new backend
28  * which doesn't negotiate with frontend should expect frontend to
29  * send a valid packet using slots up to this value.

34  * Notifications after enqueuing any type of message should be conditional on

36  * If the client sends notification for rx requests then it should specify
37  * feature 'feature-rx-notify' via xenbus. Otherwise the backend will assume
38  * that it cannot safely queue packets (as it may not be kicked to send them).

44  * advertise it via xenstore as 0 (disabled) or 1 (enabled).
45  *
46  * To make use of this feature, frontend should allocate two event
47  * channels for TX and RX, advertise them to backend as
48  * "event-channel-tx" and "event-channel-rx" respectively. If frontend
49  * doesn't want to use this feature, it just writes "event-channel"
