Please use virt_to_gfn rather than pfn_to_gfn(virt_to_pfn).

OK


Also, this is not going to work on 64K kernel because you will grant access to
noncontiguous memory (e.g 0-4K, 64K-68K,...).

By using virt_to_gfn like you suggested, the loop will correctly iterate
on a 4K by 4K basis, even on a 64K kernel:

  ring->bytes = (void*)__get_free_pages(GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_ZERO,
          XEN_9PFS_RING_ORDER - (PAGE_SHIFT - XEN_PAGE_SHIFT));
  for (i = 0; i < (1 << XEN_9PFS_RING_ORDER); i++)
      ring->intf->ref[i] = gnttab_grant_foreign_access(dev->otherend_id, 
virt_to_gfn((void*)ring->bytes) + i, 0);

BTW, the cast (void *) is not necessary.


where XEN_9PFS_RING_ORDER specifies the order at 4K granularity. Am I
missing something?

I think it is fine. You could move virt_to_gfn(...) outside and avoid to do the translation everytime.
