[libvirt] [PATCH] libxl: load on FreeBSD

The libxl tries to check if it's running in dom0 by parsing /proc/xen/capabilities and if that fails it doesn't load. There's no procfs interface in Xen on FreeBSD, so this check always fails. Instead of using procfs, check if /dev/xen/xenstored, that's enough to check if we're running in dom0 in FreeBSD case. -- The 'HYPERVISOR_CAPABILITIES' name could be misleading now, however, I'd prefer to use a common variable to avoid duplicating of the file checking code. Maybe it should be renamed to something like HYPERVISOR_CONTROL? --- src/libxl/libxl_driver.c | 41 +++++++++++++++++++++++++---------------- 1 file changed, 25 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/libxl/libxl_driver.c b/src/libxl/libxl_driver.c index 12be816..c848210 100644 --- a/src/libxl/libxl_driver.c +++ b/src/libxl/libxl_driver.c @@ -73,7 +73,11 @@ VIR_LOG_INIT("libxl.libxl_driver"); #define LIBXL_CONFIG_FORMAT_XM "xen-xm" #define LIBXL_CONFIG_FORMAT_SEXPR "xen-sxpr" -#define HYPERVISOR_CAPABILITIES "/proc/xen/capabilities" +#ifdef __FreeBSD__ +# define HYPERVISOR_CAPABILITIES "/dev/xen/xenstored" +#else +# define HYPERVISOR_CAPABILITIES "/proc/xen/capabilities" +#endif /* Number of Xen scheduler parameters */ #define XEN_SCHED_CREDIT_NPARAM 2 @@ -427,8 +431,6 @@ static bool libxlDriverShouldLoad(bool privileged) { bool ret = false; - int status; - char *output = NULL; /* Don't load if non-root */ if (!privileged) { @@ -441,21 +443,28 @@ libxlDriverShouldLoad(bool privileged) " does not exist"); return ret; } - /* - * Don't load if not running on a Xen control domain (dom0).
