Subject: [PATCH] Fix xenconsole's "Could not read tty from store"
Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2007 11:22:54 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071217112254.GA5240@implementation.uk.xensource.com> (raw)

Hello,

I was getting intermittent "Could not read tty from store" when creating
domains. This is because tools/console/daemon/io.c:domain_create_tty()
seems to expect openpty() to initiaze term, but it's the converse:
openpty expects to be given term parameters and doesn't touch it, so
that term mostly contains random data when given to tcsetattr, and thus
console creation failure. Here is a patch that fixes this.

Samuel

Use tcgetattr to fetch the initial terminal parameters in the console
daemon.
