So I still keep my design here?
Dario, Jan and Wei,
I almost finished a new version, but since this part is critical for
the whole patch, let me summarize the feedbacks here. Please correct
me if my understanding is wrong.
1) We don't need "guest_handle_is_null()" check, because null handle
could be used in some special cases. And normally, handle is checked
by copy_from(to)_guest* functions.
2) In domctl.h, add explain for nr_vcpus, because it is used in both
IN and OUT ways.
3) Use printk(XENLOG_G_WARNING ...) here, because of its rate limit feature.
4) Do I still keep the spin_lock inside the loop body?
Chong
