Subject: [PATCH] libxc: check return values on mmap() and madvise() on xc_alloc_hypercall_buffer()
Date: Tue, 20 May 2014 05:37:35 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1400589455-3964-1-git-send-email-mcgrof@do-not-panic.com> (raw)

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@suse.com>

On a Thinkpad T4440p with OpenSUSE tumbleweed with v3.15-rc4
and today's latest xen tip from the git tree strace -f reveals
we end up on a never ending wait shortly after

write(20, "backend/console/5\0", 18 <unfinished ...>

This is right before we just wait on the qemu process which we
had mmap'd for. Without this you'll end up getting stuck on a
loop if mmap() worked but madvise() did not. While at it I noticed
even the mmap() error fail was not being checked, fix that too.
