Hmmm. > yes, it's faster and also better fit RT purpose with latency requirement. new ack method has uncertain delay with dependency on guest ISR. But one question here is, how to make sure whether system is safe? Is there automatic method to choose, or whitelist, or ask user to manually change when seeing errors? :-( Thanks, Kevin _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel |
