Hi, if you run any domain specific xl command with an invalid (aka non-existing) numeric domain ID, the command does not abort, but proceeds with some bogus number: # xl destroy 42 libxl: error: libxl.c:692:libxl_domain_destroy xc_domain_pause failed for 42 libxl: error: libxl_dm.c:705:libxl__destroy_device_model Couldn't find device model's pid: No such file or directory libxl: error: libxl.c:696:libxl_domain_destroy libxl__destroy_device_model failed for 42 libxl: error: libxl_device.c:325:libxl__devices_destroy /local/domain/42/device is empty libxl: error: libxl_dom.c:536:userdata_path unable to find domain info for domain 42: Success libxl: error: libxl.c:713:libxl_domain_destroy xc_domain_destroy failed for 42 The attached patch catches a non-existing domain and returns early (as an invalid domain _name_ would do). Please apply to Xen 4.1.0-rc. Signed-off-by: Andre Przywara -- Andre Przywara AMD-Operating System Research Center (OSRC), Dresden, Germany
