Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] Fixing iopl and ioperm

On xeno32, test case iopl02 of LTP will fail, pls see below:
My guess is that LTP tries to change iopl to 1. This doesn;t fail on
xenlinux because the iopl is *already* 1 (because the kernel runs at
ring 1; not ring 0 as on native). If this is the case, your patch
'fixes' LTP by breaking our implementation of sys_iopl. By reading the
old iopl out of eflags, you will always read zero. This would certainly
fix this LTP testcase but it is the wrong thing to do.
Frankly, fixing this LTP test case will be a pain. If I have correctly
described what's going on then let's ignore it at least for now -- it
is not indicative of a real bug and it is entirely harmless. LTP is a
measure of stability for us, but passing every LTP test is not an end
in itself (we should understand the failures though).
