Perhaps a short comment > would be helpful. If bit 0 is 1, it means a flag of "doing the operation by force". IMO we'd like to always perform the operation by force, even if the host doesn't set the flag -- this is what the existing shutdown handling code does.

Is there a reason the > new code for case 2 and 3 (restart) is doing it in the opposite order? The channel callback runs in a tasklet context, and an active tasklet handler can not be cancelled, so even if the "work" starts to run on another CPU immediately, I'm sure the channel callback will send the response packet and finish normally. This way we can save a local bool variable "execute_reboot". :-) But, let me change the patch to follow the shutdown handling code for consistency. Thanks, -- Dexuan
