Re: [Xen-ia64-devel] Problem with xen-unstable cset 7937 (grant tabletra

Keir, could you translate the asm statement in gnttab_transfer
into a cmpxchg (see include/asm-x86/system.h)? Or is it doing
something that the macros can't do?
Yes, it can be. The cmpxchg is relying on count_info and domain fields
being adjacent, by the way. And the construction of old/new values to
pass to cmpxchg is specific to little endian systems. It might be best
to define an arch-specific function for atomically stealing a page from
a domain, although we might get away with defining a endian-aware macro
for concatenating two u32's into a u64, and turning cmpxchg8b into
cmpxchg().
Also, I've attached a patch that shows the differences between
the x86 and ia64 versions. If you think it would be possible
to merge most of these differences (and/or incorporate a
small number of ifdefs into common/grant_table.c), that
would be very helpful.
No patch!
