Hey Elena, Before you invest time in this, a couple of questions: - Dariof was interested in merging this with his auto NUMA placement code. That piece of code does not look simple and I think he volunteered to do it. However he has also been busy reviewing Xen RT patches so I figured he hasn't yet done that. - Since it would interact with auto NUMA placement and expose new logic in libxl we run in the problem of the 'stable' API that we MUST preserve. That is a worry - and will require scrutinity. - I think (and please correct me if I am wrong) that it would require at least two revisions to be posted. - What is the impact if the toolstack patches go in Xen 4.6? Thank you. > > > -- > Elena > _______________________________________________ > Xen-devel mailing list > Xen-devel@lists.xen.org > http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
