The xenfs filesystem exports various interfaces to usermode. Initially this exports a file to allow usermode to interact with xenbus/xenstore. Traditionally this appeared in /proc/xen. Rather than extending procfs, this patch adds a backward-compat mountpoint on /proc/xen, and provides a xenfs filesystem which can be mounted there.

The balloon driver allows the Xen domain to request more memory from
|
|
the system to expand the domain's memory allocation, or alternatively
|
|
return unneeded memory to the system.

Scrub pages before returning them to the system for reuse by
|
|
other domains. This makes sure that any confidential data
|
|
is not accidentally visible to other domains. Is it more
|
|
secure, but slightly less efficient.

If in doubt, say yes.

The xen filesystem provides a way for domains to share
|
|
information with each other and with the hypervisor.
|
|
For example, by reading and writing the "xenbus" file, guests
|
|
may pass arbitrary information to the initial domain.
|

If in doubt, say yes.

help
|
|
The old xenstore userspace tools expect to find "xenbus"
|
|
under /proc/xen, but "xenbus" is now found at the root of the
|
|
xenfs filesystem. Selecting this causes the kernel to create
|
|
the compatibilty mount point /proc/xen if it is running on
|
|
a xen platform.
|
|
If in doubt, say yes.
