You've lost me. Either you are confused or I have forgotten the details of how that shutdown code works. Either is quite possible I suspect. :-) Basically I don't see how this avoids the recursive, and potentially rather expensive, teardown. Nor am I convinced about how much potential time-saving there is to be had here. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
