[Xen-devel] [GIT PULL] xen-netfront driver updates for 2.6.36
Hi Dave, Here''s a git branch with some updates to the Xen netfront driver, which add a new "smartpoll" mode to the netfront backend protocol, which is basically equivalent to interrupt mitigation. They''ve been in linux-next for a week or so. Do you want to take this via the net tree, or are you OK with me submitting them directly? Thanks, J The following changes since commit 74fca6a42863ffacaf7ba6f1936a9f228950f657: Linux 2.6.31 (2009-09-09 15:13:59 -0700) are available in the git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git upstream/netfront Dongxiao Xu (1): xen/netfront: Use smart polling instead of event notification.

[Xen-devel] [GIT PULL] xen-netfront driver updates for 2.6.36
Hi Dave, OK, let''s try that again. Here''s a git branch with some updates to the Xen netfront driver, which add a new "smartpoll" mode to the netfront backend protocol, which is basically equivalent to interrupt mitigation. This merges cleanly with current linux-next (it previously just had a small constification conflict). Do you want to take this via the net tree, or are you OK with me submitting them directly? Thanks, J The following changes since commit 9fe6206f400646a2322096b56c59891d530e8d51: Linux 2.6.35 (2010-08-01 15:11:14 -0700) are available in the git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jeremy/xen.git upstream/netfront Dongxiao Xu (1): xen/netfront: Use smart polling instead of event notification.

If you want me to include this you should have asked me to pull it in days if not weeks ago. 2) Your tree is absolutely not in a state I can pull it. It has lots of completely unrelated commits which are not in net-next-2.6 which in no way should I be pulling into my tree. When you want me to take changes, your tree should be based upon mine. And when I pull from your tree I should get only your specific xen-netfront driver changes, and nothing more. Thanks. _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

I can rebase to net-next-2.6.> When you want me to take changes, your tree should be based upon mine. > And when I pull from your tree I should get only your specific > xen-netfront driver changes, and nothing more.Sure.
