This allows userland tools such as xentrace and xenmon to avoid polling for new trace records. A future patch will include support for this in XenMon, along with various other enhancements and bug fixes.This patch has been tested on x86, x86-64, and x86 SMP machines. Please re-sync the patch with current tip, and also I think your interrupt holdoff logic is unnecessary. I think you can get rid of last_virq_sent and test '(buf->prod - buf->cons) == t_buf_highwater'. No need for '>=' because the producer is incremented by one each time trace() is called so you are bound to equal t_bug_highwater before you become greater than it. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel |
