Subject: -EINTR return in domain_relinquish_resources
Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2015 16:27:20 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150121212720.GA24555@l.oracle.com> (raw)

As I was looking at some of the XSA I realized that the
call-chain of:

 domain_relinquish_resources
   ->vcpu_destroy_pagetables
     -> put_page_and_type_preemptible
        -> __put_page_type
		returns -EINTR

which means we end up at:
 618         rc = domain_relinquish_resources(d);                                    
 619         if ( rc != 0 )                                                          
 620         {                                                                       
 621             if ( rc == -ERESTART )                                              
 622                 rc = -EAGAIN;                                                   
 623             break;             <=== with rc=-EINTR
 624         }                                         

And return -EINTR to user-space - which loop in 
'xc_domain_destroy' is only looking for:

 112 int xc_domain_destroy(xc_interface *xch,                                        
 113                       uint32_t domid)                                           
 114 {                                                                               
 115     int ret;                                                                    
 116     DECLARE_DOMCTL;                                                             
 117     domctl.cmd = XEN_DOMCTL_destroydomain;                                      
 118     domctl.domain = (domid_t)domid;                                             
 119     do {                                                                        
 120         ret = do_domctl(xch, &domctl);                                          
 121     } while ( ret && (errno == EAGAIN) );                                       
 122     return ret;                                                                 
 123 }                                

which to my reading looks like we would exit out and leave
an DOMDYING_dying domain. Looking at the code it seems possible
to continue on if the user does 'xl destroy <X>' guest again,
but I was wondering if:

 a). Should the toolstack (libxl or libxc) have the code to
     handle -EINTR?

 b). Or should the hypervisor convert the -EINTR to -ERESTART
     (or -EAGAIN) - which most of the code (see users of
     get_page_type_preemptible) do right now?

Thanks!
