I haven't followed this discussion very closely but it might be possible to arrange that the 'incorrect lack of credit' only occurs for a few seconds every time 'jiffies' wraps - instead of half of the time. Then you'd have to be extremely unlucky to hit the timing window. David _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
