From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Ian Jackson Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/5] libxl: domain save/restore: run in a separate process Date: Thu, 17 May 2012 19:53:31 +0100 Message-ID: <1337280816-25370-1-git-send-email-ian.jackson@eu.citrix.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: xen-devel-bounces@lists.xen.org Errors-To: xen-devel-bounces@lists.xen.org To: xen-devel@lists.xen.org List-Id: xen-devel@lists.xenproject.org This is a first cut of my proposal to fix the libxl save/restore machinery so that it is suitable for use in a single-process daemon. See 5/5 for the full rationale. Note that i have not executed this series, although I have compiled it. Nor have I reread the patches particularly carefully. This is an initial posting to get comments on the approach. 1/5 libxc: xc_domain_restore, make toolstack_restore const-correct 2/5 libxl: domain save: rename variables etc. 3/5 libxl: domain restore: reshuffle, preparing for ao 4/5 libxl: domain save: API changes for asynchrony 5/5 libxl: domain save/restore: run in a separate process These are also available as the final few commits on the following git branch: http://xenbits.xen.org/gitweb/?p=people/iwj/xen-unstable.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/rebasing.ao-save-restore Note that this branch is REBASING and has a DISJOINT HISTORY to most of the other xen-unstable.git trees on xenbits. "master" in that repo is the xen-unstable tip (non-rebasing). It also contains my topgit forest; the tip of this series is the patch t/xen/xc.save-restore-protocol.
