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.
