The hypercalls shouldn't include that level of policy. Can you adjust the
patch to return an error instead of the hypercall deciding to nuke the entire
program?
I figured you might say that ;-)
Here. Keep in mind, though, when this message pops up it becomes _very_ verbose.
Add throttling then? Or kill the interrupt thread if it's a
non-transient error.
It's very difficult to know how to handle errors, especially since your
description is completely abstract. Did you ever encounter the problem,
or is the description theoretical?
