Potentially a scheduler activations interface would be nice for SMP guests, if it's not too hard to modify the OS to support it. I don't see how a preemption aware interface would improve prepare_arch_switch() though -- I already said that failsafe_handler() should pick up the slack if you remove selector zeroing from prepare_arch_switch(). You may get some noise from Xen on a debug build, but things should carry on working just fine. If I'm missing your point, you need to give some more details about what you're proposing. :-) -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
