+What: /sys/devices/*/xenbus/event_channels
+Date: February 2021
+Contact: Xen Developers mailing list <xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org>
+Description:
+ Number of Xen event channels associated with a kernel based
+ paravirtualized device frontend or backend.

+What: /sys/devices/*/xenbus/events
+Date: February 2021
+Contact: Xen Developers mailing list <xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org>
+Description:
+ Total number of Xen events received for a Xen pv device
+ frontend or backend.

+What: /sys/devices/*/xenbus/jiffies_eoi_delayed
+Date: February 2021
+Contact: Xen Developers mailing list <xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org>
+Description:
+ Summed up time in jiffies the EOI of an interrupt for a Xen
+ pv device has been delayed in order to avoid stalls due to
+ event storms. This value rising is a first sign for a rogue
+ other end of the pv device.
+
+What: /sys/devices/*/xenbus/spurious_events
+Date: February 2021
+Contact: Xen Developers mailing list <xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org>
+Description:
+ Number of events received for a Xen pv device which did not
+ require any action. Too many spurious events in a row will
+ trigger delayed EOI processing.
+
+What: /sys/devices/*/xenbus/spurious_threshold
+Date: February 2021
+Contact: Xen Developers mailing list <xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org>
+Description:
+ Controls the tolerated number of subsequent spurious events
+ before delayed EOI processing is triggered for a Xen pv
+ device. Default is 1. This can be modified in case the other
+ end of the pv device is issuing spurious events on a regular
+ basis and is known not to be malicious on purpose. Raising
+ the value for such cases can improve pv device performance.
