Maybe you mixed up mine with that? But that's also not eligible to be
applied yet.

I can always revert the series if there are major objections.

Zoltan -- does this patch series suffer from/expose the confusion
regarding RING_HAS_UNCONSUMED_REQUESTS which we are discussing
separately on xen-devel? If the answer is yes then I think this series
should be reverted for the time being because there seems to be some
fairly fundamental questions about the semantics of that macro.
I haven't seen it causing any issue during my testing, although it went through several XenRT nighlies. That topic ("RING_HAS_UNCONSUMED_REQUESTS oddness" on xen-devel) came from theoretical grounds. One outcome of it is that we should move that napi_schedule from the callback to the end of the dealloc thread to be on the safe side. I can post a short patch for that.


If the answer is no then I will endeavour to review this version of the
series ASAP (hopefully tomorrow) and determine if I have any other major
objections which would warrant a revert.

Ian.
