[Xen-devel] xenbus_dev_request_and_reply() checking for transaction end

["Jan Beulich" <jbeulich@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Jeremy,

what is the motivation for doing

        if ((msg->type == XS_TRANSACTION_END) ||

where linux-2.6.18-xen does

        if ((req_msg.type == XS_TRANSACTION_END) ||

? Is the intention to continue holding the mutex if sending the transaction
end message fails? If so, wouldn't this also require all users of
xenbus_transaction_end() to do proper error checking *and* re-issuing?

Thanks, Jan
