Re: [Xen-devel] Trigger code in domU from dom0

[Asim <linkasim@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks a lot Chris -- I can see it working fine. I have placed my
calls after the hypercall in take_machine_down in
linux/drivers/xen/core/machine_reboot.c (if suspend is successful) and
it looks to be working good.

Thanks again.

Regards,
Asim
