+ * Control ring
+ * ============
+ *
+ * Some features, such as hashing (detailed below), require a
+ * significant amount of out-of-band data to be passed from frontend to
+ * backend. Use of xenstore is not suitable for large quantities of data
+ * because of quota limitations and so a dedicated 'control ring' is used.
+ * The ability of the backend to use a control ring is advertised by
+ * setting:
+ *
+ * /local/domain/X/backend/<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.

+ *
+ * NOTE: A valid hash algorithm must be selected before this operation can

+ *
+ * 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

+ *
+ * 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

+ * 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.

+ * table entries.
+ * Any previous table is invalidated by this message and any new table

+ *
+ * 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.
