You aren't the only hypervisor developer to encounter this: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/866461?do=post_view_threaded The patch looks good. One thing we might change is to use just one gpe as a "something processor related has changed" and look up some other pio word to see exactly what, that may be simpler with larger numbers of processors (maybe). -- Any sufficiently difficult bug is indistinguishable from a feature. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
