Re: [Xen-devel] To use xcs or not?

I am creating a graphics system where each VM draws into an OpenGL

OpenGL process is tied to.
Neat, is this some sort of specialized application or are you
implementing a virtual frame buffer?
So when the screen has been redrawn, I need to wake up my domUs, and
for this I wanted to use the ctrl_if mechanism. I borrowed some code
from vm-shutdown in the (very nice) vm-tools package, setup a
semaphore in the guest kernel, and for every screen update I send an
XCS_REQUEST (only type that seems to do anything) up to the domU.
This is probably a little overkill. If all you need is notification,
you probably just want to setup your own evtchn.
This works fine for a little while (1000 updates or so), whereafter
xcs seems to go into an infinite loop. I am going
xcs has some problems. It needs some work.
