Re: [Xen-devel] Q on shared_mem and event_channel

[ravi kerur <rkerur@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Konrad,

xapi mailing list response time is pretty slow(I had experienced it before), haven't heard from xapi mailing list for my Q yet. If i go to Citrix support it takes at least a week to get a response. 

I am not quite sure whom to followup with. Any inputs appreciated. 

Thanks
-Ravi

You will have to back-port them to it.

Well, that requires much more than the patches I mentioned. I think Citrix
might have some off-the-shelf code that does it. Ask on the Xapi mailing list.
