Re: [Xen-devel] Real-time support
One way to deal with the problem you mention here is to have the guest OS have
the smarts to (a) check for preemption conditions that may arise because a
higher priority thread in the guest is runnable and (b) re-issue the hypercall
that was only partially completed.
Hi,
Yes i agree. Preempting the hypercall and returning an indication of
forward progress to the guest as is currently done with multicall, etc
should work. I misunderstood Ian Pratt's earlier suggestion. I thought
his idea was to preempt the hypercall and keep preemption state inside
the hypervisor. My mistake :).
cheers,
Geoffrey
