My first reaction was to suggest
#define MAX_INDIRECT_PAGES INDIRECT_PAGES(MAX_INDIRECT_SEGMENTS)
but that wouldn't match what's there currently (note the two different
divisors). I can't really decide whether that's just unfortunate naming
of the two macros, or an actual bug.
I think there's indeed a bug here.
AFAICT, MAX_INDIRECT_PAGES should use XEN_PAGES_PER_INDIRECT_FRAME and
then it could be changed as Jan suggested.
The problem is SEGS_PER_INDIRECT_FRAME has been miscalculated. So I think it
would be fine to use XEN_PAGES_PER_INDIRECT_FRAME in MAX_INDIRECT_PAGES.
However the naming for XEN_PAGES_PER_INDIRECT_FRAME is misnamed. We return
number of a for segments per indirect frame. So I would rename to
SEGS_PER_INDIRECT_FRAME.
I don't think I agree with this last part, SEGS_PER_INDIRECT_FRAME
would have to take into account XEN_PAGES_PER_SEGMENT, and
XEN_PAGES_PER_INDIRECT_FRAME doesn't.
XEN_PAGES_PER_INDIRECT_FRAME currently returns the number of grant
references per indirect page, but as I understand it a segment can use
more than one grant reference, if for example the guest page size is
64KB.
I am a bit confused. By segment, do you refer to the backend or frontend
segment?
In any case, it would be possible to remove SEGS_PER_INDIRECT_FRAME if
we rework MAX_INDIRECT_PAGES(...). This should improve the readability
as well.
Cheers,
