Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Change xs_read_watch interfaces to support variable arguments
Date: Mon, 03 Oct 2005 23:43:43 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4342087F.5010505@us.ibm.com> (raw)
The following set of changes modify the read_watch interface in
userspace and in the kernel to support variable arguments. This is in
preparation for adding domid to @{introduce,release}Domain watches.
This will allow backends to automatically reap on domain destruction
which should eliminate a large number of the zombie problems we're
having on domain destruction since Xend no longer plays a role in
freeing that memory.
The interface for read_watch is now consistent between userspace and
kernel space. It's modelled after xs_read_directory. The returned
array is indexable via XS_WATCH_* macros.
While slightly awkward, IMHO it seems like the cleanest and most
flexible option of the proposed interfaces.
