Re: [PATCH v2 2/2] xen/include/public: deprecate GNTTABOP_transfer



Hi Juergen,

From the commit message, it is unclear to me why we are discouraging new use cases and indirectly encouraging current users to move away from the feature.

Patch #1 seems to imply this is because the feature is not present in Linux upstream. But I don't think this is a sufficient reason to deprecate a feature.

A more compelling reason would be that the feature is broken and too complex to fix it.

So can you provide more details?

As a side note, should we also update SUPPORT.md?

Cheers,
