Maybe you mixed up mine with that? But that's also not eligible to be applied yet.I can always revert the series if there are major objections.Zoltan -- does this patch series suffer from/expose the confusion regarding RING_HAS_UNCONSUMED_REQUESTS which we are discussing separately on xen-devel? If the answer is yes then I think this series should be reverted for the time being because there seems to be some fairly fundamental questions about the semantics of that macro.
I haven't seen it causing any issue during my testing, although it went
through several XenRT nighlies. That topic
("RING_HAS_UNCONSUMED_REQUESTS oddness" on xen-devel) came from
theoretical grounds. One outcome of it is that we should move that
napi_schedule from the callback to the end of the dealloc thread to be
on the safe side. I can post a short patch for that.
If the answer is no then I will endeavour to review this version of the series ASAP (hopefully tomorrow) and determine if I have any other major objections which would warrant a revert. Ian.
