[Xen-devel] Re: [PATCH] libxenlight: clone context to avoid GC corruption

[andres@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Well. I'm just a humble contributor :)
But if you feel like nacking this patch, it'd be nice if you provided
either a new "GC", or an alternate way to keep using the old "GC" while
using a separate xenstore handle in functions like libxl_xs_read. Or an
alternate solution to the watch problem.
Thanks,
Andres
