It won't restart the > poll after event delivery? That's right. The hypercall returns if any event is delivered to the vcpu, or if any port in the poll set is pending. The fact we don't clear the vcpu from the poll_mask if unblocked for event delivery isn't a correctness issue, but it will cause unnecessary extra work in future invocations of evtchn_set_pending(). Perhaps vcpu_unblock() should clear it. -- Keir _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel
