There may be more changes.. I was thinking that it may be easier to start with the easier case RING_SIZE >= 4, make sure everything is working fine, then send a follow up patchset with the required adjustments for RING_SIZE < 4. _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
