From 8d9256906a97c24e97e016482b9be06ea2532b05 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Beulich Date: Mon, 17 Jun 2013 15:16:33 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] xen/io/ring.h: new macro to detect whether there are too many requests on the ring Backends may need to protect themselves against an insane number of produced requests stored by a frontend, in case they iterate over requests until reaching the req_prod value. There can't be more requests on the ring than the difference between produced requests and produced (but possibly not yet published) responses. This is a more strict alternative to a patch previously posted by Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk .
