* libxenlight: check for early failures of qemu-dmKeir Fraser2009-11-231-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes xl create check whether qemu-dm has started correctly, and causes it to fail immediately with appropriate errors if not. There are other bugfixes too. More specifically: * libxl_create_device_model forks twice rather than once so that the process which calls libxl does not end up being the actual parent of qemu. That avoids the need for the qemu-dm process to be reaped at some indefinite time in the future. * The first fork generates an intermediate process which is responsible for writing the qemu-dm pid to xenstore and then merely waits to collect and report on qemu-dm's exit status during startup. New arguments to libxl_create_device_model allow the preservation of its pid so that a later call can check whether the startup is successful. * The core of this functionality (the double fork, waitpid, signal handling and so forth) is abstracted away into a new facility libxl_spawn_... in libxl_exec.c. Consequential changes: * libxl_wait_for_device_model now takes a callback function parameter which is called repeatedly in the loop iteration and allows the caller to abort the wait. * libxl_exec no longer calls fork; there is a new libxl_fork. * There is a hook to override waitpid, which will be necessary for some callers. Remaining problems and other issues I noticed or we found: * The error handling is rather inconsistent still and lacking in places. * destroy_device_model can kill random dom0 processes (!)

* libxenlight: correct broken osdeps.[ch] and make #includes consistentKeir Fraser2009-11-231-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | osdeps.[hc] previously mistakenly declared and defined [v]asprintf. These functions are available in the libc on most platforms. Also, osdeps.h is used by xc.c but xc.c is not part of the library, so osdeps.h is part of the public interface and should have a better name. So now, instead: * osdeps.h is libxl_osdeps.h. * _GNU_SOURCE is #defined in libxl_osdeps.h so that we get the system [v]asprintf (and various other functions) * libxl_osdeps.h is included first in every libxl*.c file (it needs to be before any system headers so that _GNU_SOURCE) takes effect. * osdeps.[hc] only provide their own reimplementation of [v]asprintf if NEED_OWN_ASPRINTF is defined. Currently it is not ever defined but this is provided for any platform which needs it. * While I was editing the #includes in each .c file, I put them all into the same order: "libxl_osdeps.h", then system headers, then local headers. * xs.h is included in libxl.h. This is needed for "bool"; it has to not be typedefed in libxl.h because otherwise we get a duplicate definition when including xs.h. Signed-off-by: Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@eu.citrix.com>
