Looking at make-flight, we seem to want to be able to run tests on Xen 3.*, 4.0, 4.1. As I said in my email, I can't speak for these. I honestly think that SEDF was already broken, so I personally would be more than glad to send a patch that gets rid of it all the way, but that does not count much, I guess, as I wasn't here! As soon as you (and others) will let me know what's best, I'll do it. > As to the substance, I would like to take advice from the relevant HV > maintainers about this change. >=20 Sure. > With my tools maintainer hat on, we should consider removing the > sedf-specific code from libxl. >=20 Patch coming. I'm not removing the interfaces and the symbols, to allow backword build-time compatibility to be retained, but yes, I'm removing it from everywhere, and "neutralizing it" (just in case!) in libxl... You shall see! :-P Thanks and Regards, Dario --=20 <> (Raistlin Majere) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dario Faggioli, Ph.D, http://about.me/dario.faggioli Senior Software Engineer, Citrix Systems R&D Ltd., Cambridge (UK) --=-rhal5ox/RhOSlLhlVsUf Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEABECAAYFAlWNeSkACgkQk4XaBE3IOsQPSgCfQh2BZGs5p8KvvjNo4wtH2GGX XYgAn3J3JDj2eS1GDTROgsZ0OUK3bOua =cP13 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-rhal5ox/RhOSlLhlVsUf-- --===============3725083742408327137== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel --===============3725083742408327137==--
