Or maybe it makes sense to add a separate one that lets you find out that removal started. Need to figure out how to handle suspend too then ... Generally we have these checks that device is not going away sprinkled over all drivers and I don't like it, but it's not easy to build a sane API to handle it, especially for high speed things when we can't take locks because performance. > -- > Thanks, > > David / dhildenb _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
