Do we have to use inline parameters in domctl? Â

Right now, we used the domctl to set/get the parameters of each vcpu of a domain. So from what the functionality does, it should be in domctl. ÂIf we don't have to use inline parameters, I would prefer to use domctl. :-)

The reason why ARINC653 scheduler uses sysctl to set parameters is as George said. It sets the scheduling sequence for the ARINC653 scheduler, instead of setting the parameters of a domain.Â

Thank you very much!

Best,

Meng
