Other side can be a remote processor (for remoteproc over virtio or something similar), or traditionally it can be host OS or host firmware providing virtualisation to a Guest running Linux (this driver). Or something else.. I would incline towards "we trust the other side" here. > Usually we trust the hardware, but if you do not trust the hardware, > then yes, you need to have a timeout here. The other side is the software that has access to the _Real_ hardware, and so we should trust it. So we can have a actually have a completion without timeout here, interesting. -- viresh _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list [email protected] https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
