Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] Add SCHEDOP_block_on

I had some more of a think about this and actually there is a case for
using a polling interface of this type in the pcifront driver. That
sends a PCI-config-space request to the backend driver while it has
interrupts disabled and currently has to spin on a software flag. At
least the spin is usually short, but it's not a nice thing to have to
do.
I'll have another look at your patch next week and reconsider.
I just applied an extended version of your patch as changeset 9238
(c445d4...) to the xen-unstable repository. The changeset comment there
says it all, really. It should end up in the public repo in the next
couple of hours if I haven't screwed anything up and the automatic
regression tests pass.
Until 3.0.2 is called (which could be within a week, depending on when
2.6.16 is released) the implementation and interfaces can be modified
-- please let me know asap if anything needs changing! You can see a
usage example of the new interface in the pcifront driver. The code for
that is in the same changeset.
Oh yes, and documentation isn't yet updated. The patch for that will be
a bit bigger than your original one. I'll look into that tomorrow. :-)
