As promised this version does keep the domid < 0 check in order to be clearly keeping the old behavior. -Stefan >From 18d398d98dc0dc2d9148ffb8673c651248d1bca5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Bader <stefan.bader(a)canonical.com&gt; Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2012 09:59:56 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] xend_internal: Use domain/status for shutdown check On newer xend (v3.x and after) there is no state and domid reported for inactive domains. When initially creating connections this is handled in various places by assigning domain->id = -1. But once an instance has been running, the id is set to the current domain id. And it does not change when the instance is shut down. So when querying the domain info, the hypervisor driver, which gets asked first will indicate it cannot find information, then the xend driver is asked and will set the status to NOSTATE because it checks for the -1 domain id. Checking domain/status for 0 seems to be more reliable for that. One note: I am not sure whether the domain->id also should get set back to -1 whenever any sub-driver thinks the instance is no longer running.
