There is no disc access hypercall as Xen does not do I/O itself. Long-lived hypercalls can be voluntarily preempted by events. The hypercall is resumed without the guest needing to do anything special. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel |
