Subject: Saving domain in xl does not have proper cleanup
Date: Sun, 16 Sep 2012 16:58:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120916145830.GB22987@wavehammer.waldi.eu.org> (raw)

Hi

Saving a domain without enough available space with xl in 4.2-rc5 fails
to cleanup completely. The domain informations remains in Xenstore,
the domain itself seems to remain in a suspended state and there is not
xl process for it anymore.

Reason is the use of the MUST macro in save_domain. It exits the process
prematurely instead of cleaning up the external visible changes.

Also the MUST macro is broken. exit() only takes "values & 0xff", so
this macro may exit the process with 0 if the error value is chosen
unwisely.

Bastian
