RE: [Xen-devel] compile error of HVM pv drivers



The problem may be from the new changes in 
unmodified_drivers/linux-2.6/compat-include/xen/platform-compat.h

the following two lines:
#define netif_tx_lock_bh(dev) (spin_lock_bh(&(dev)->xmit_lock))
#define netif_tx_unlock_bh(dev) (spin_unlock_bh(&(dev)->xmit_lock))
should be
#define netif_tx_lock_bh(dev) (spin_lock_bh(&dev->xmit_lock))
#define netif_tx_unlock_bh(dev) (spin_unlock_bh(&dev->xmit_lock))
"()" is useless for dev.

Thanks
Yunfeng
