Subject: [PATCH] evtchn: make EVTCHNOP_reset suitable for kexec
Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2014 17:48:49 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1406303329-21724-1-git-send-email-vkuznets@redhat.com> (raw)
It would be nice to allow guests to close all event channels in
ABI-agnostic way on startup. This would allow a guest to perform
full cleanup in case of kexec/kdump. EVTCHNOP_reset looks suitable
for this purpose. However it has two issues:
- current implementation unconditionally closes all event channels
including store/console channels mapped to Dom0. There is no way
for a guest to restore these channels after they were closed.
- control blocks for vcpus need cleanup when FIFO ABI is being used.
With this change a guest can simply do EVTCHNOP_reset before its
init in both 2-level and FIFO cases. Unfortunately we'll need to
put something like "xen_version >= 4.5" check before doing it as
if we do it with the old implementation the guest will get stuck.
The issue can also be solved by introducing a new EVTCHNOP
operation but it seems that EVTCHNOP_reset was originally designed
for such reset and it's not being used at this moment.
[The idea was suggested by Ian Campbell and Andrew Cooper]
