Subject: [PATCH] minios: fix and enforce block_domain atomicity
Date: Thu, 8 May 2008 11:56:33 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080508105633.GG4365@implementation.uk.xensource.com> (raw)

minios: fix and enforce block_domain atomicity

To ensure that the timer event is not lost, block_domain requires that
event delivery is disabled.  SCHEDOP_block re-enables them, so for
coherency (and fixing a bug actually), we should re-disable them after.
Also, make sure that the caller disabled them.
