Xen project Mailing List

Hi Florian,

Sure, I'm sending the more verbose v2 patch soon and I will implement the memregion enums later.

Thanks!

Hi Christian,

thanks for noticing this! This indeed seems like an oversight and was
most likely introduced in patch d1aae7129. Could you please make the
commit message a bit more verbose and mention the context of this? I'll
test this patch later today (my Xen test machine is currently down).

Also, as a second step, while this fixes the bug, this setup seems very
brittle, because whenever a new entry is added to the switch statement,
this number needs to be updated. Maybe a better solution would be to
create an memregion enum that has all the numbers as named entries
(which would also dispense with the "/* text */" comments, because the
code itself would be clearer), and a last entry called "count" or "last"
or something like that, which could then be used instead of this magic
number 5 or 7 or whatever it would be in the future.

Would you want to implement something like this?

Cheers,
Florian
