Does anyone know whether these two will be included in final 2.6.38? I was thinking 2.6.39, but then I was also wondering whether some of this functionality it provides can be exposed via QEMU PCI API and KVM's interrupt handler code (similar to pciback, except that the flow is via ioctl/eventfs to/from QEMU for PCI devices interrupts). It would require delicate surgery in multiple code bases but could make it easier in the long-term. Still pondering about it, but in the meantime there is a branch that works quite nicely git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/konrad/xen.git devel/next-2.6.38 and has netback+pciback and is quite stable on my boxes. > > More general question - can anyone venture an estimate on when all remaining > dom0 > features will be merged into Linus tree ? To give ourselves a lot of breathing room for fixing bugs, stabilizing, etc, testing, how about 2.6.42? The more I see the number 42 the better that answer is :-) _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
