Commit Message

Paul Durrant Dec. 20, 2018, 5:14 p.m. UTC
This patch adds a new source module, xen-bus-helper.c, which builds on
basic libxenstore primitives to provide functions to create (setting
permissions appropriately) and destroy xenstore areas, and functions to
'printf' and 'scanf' nodes therein. The main xen-bus code then uses
these primitives [1] to initialize and destroy the frontend and backend
areas for a XenDevice during realize and unrealize respectively.

The 'xen-block' implementation is extended with a 'get_name' method that
returns the VBD number. This number is required to 'name' the xenstore
areas.

NOTE: An exit handler is also added to make sure the xenstore areas are
      cleaned up if QEMU terminates without devices being unrealized.

[1] The 'scanf' functions are actually not yet needed, but they will be
    needed by code delivered in subsequent patches.

v5:
 - Re-base

v3:
 - Add transaction id parameters to xen-bus-helper functions
 - Not added Anthony's R-b because of change

v2:
 - Fix boilerplate
 - Add error pointers to all xs_node... helpers
 - Add GCC_FMT_ATTR to declarations of printf-like helpers
