Revert "xen/pv-on-hvm kexec: add xs_reset_watches to shutdown watches from old kernel"

2011-12-19T14:30:35Z

This reverts commit ddacf5ef684a655abe2bb50c4b2a5b72ae0d5e05. As when booting the kernel under Amazon EC2 as an HVM guest it ends up hanging during startup. Reverting this we loose the fix for kexec booting to the crash kernels.

xen/pv-on-hvm kexec: add xs_reset_watches to shutdown watches from old kernel

2011-09-22T20:32:24Z

Add new xs_reset_watches function to shutdown watches from old kernel after kexec boot. The old kernel does not unregister all watches in the shutdown path. They are still active, the double registration can not be detected by the new kernel. When the watches fire, unexpected events will arrive and the xenwatch thread will crash (jumps to NULL). An orderly reboot of a hvm guest will destroy the entire guest with all its resources (including the watches) before it is rebuilt from scratch, so the missing unregister is not an issue in that case. With this change the xenstored is instructed to wipe all active watches for the guest. However, a patch for xenstored is required so that it accepts the XS_RESET_WATCHES request from a client (see changeset 23839:42a45baf037d in xen-unstable.hg). Without the patch for xenstored the registration of watches will fail and some features of a PVonHVM guest are not available. The guest is still able to boot, but repeated kexec boots will fail. [v5: use xs_single instead of passing a dummy string to xs_talkv] [v4: ignore -EEXIST in xs_reset_watches] [v3: use XS_RESET_WATCHES instead of XS_INTRODUCE] [v2: move all code which deals with XS_INTRODUCE into xs_introduce() (based on feedback from Ian Campbell); remove casts from kvec assignment] Signed-off-by: Olaf Hering [v1: Redid the git description a bit] Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk

xen/pci: support multi-segment systems

2011-09-22T20:23:46Z

Now that the hypercall interface changes are in -unstable, make the kernel side code not ignore the segment (aka domain) number anymore (which results in pretty odd behavior on such systems). Rather, if only the old interfaces are available, don't call them for devices on non-zero segments at all.
