Hi all,
At the moment, Live-Update will, by default, not proceed if there are
in-flight transactions. It is possible force it by passing -F but this
will break any connection with in-flight transactions.
There are PV drivers out that may never terminate some transaction. On
host running such guest, we would need to use -F. Unfortunately, this
also risks to break well-behaving guests (and even dom0) because
Live-Update will happen as soon as the timeout is hit.
This series aims to allow to Live-Update more safely even when the option
-F is used.
The first part of the series contains a few fixes for bug found while
testing Live-Update.
Cheers,
