Subject: Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 4/4] [Net] Support accelerated network plugin modules

Hi, Kieran,

I'm just wonder why you try to acquire the lock and increase the
hooks_usecount each time when you use the hook routine. Is there any
generic ways to synchronze the code path using hook routines and
netfront_accelerator_unloaded, considering you can synchronize the
tx/rx data path easily.
