[libvirt] [PATCH libvirt] xen: handle root= in xen-xm configuration files.

In addition to extra= xm supported a root= option which was supposed to be incorporated into the final command line. Handle that for "virsh domxml-from-native xen-xm". Tested with the libxl backend.

What's the difference between xenXMConfigCopyStringOpt and xenXMConfigGetString?
The first thing both do is set the pointer in the third param to NULL. If the conf setting specified by the second param does not exist or is empty, both will return success. The only difference is xenXMConfigGetString will set the pointer in the third param to the value provided in the fourth param. Oh, and xenXMConfigGetString doesn't alloc any memory, so no need to free 'extra' and 'root'.
Once I understand that, then this patch (minus the .gnulib bump) seems okay.
Nod, I think it is fine after removing the gnulib hunk. I tested with the old Xen driver too. BTW, if <cmdline> contains root=, I noticed that domxml-to-native will put it in extra= instead of creating a root= entry. E.g. <cmdline>root=/dev/bla foo=bar</cmdline> converts to extra="root=/dev/bla foo=bar", which is still valid config so perhaps not such a big deal. Regards, Jim

No, sorry, I've no idea how that happened (/me curses git submodules yet again).

NB I just sent out a v2 -- extra should default to "" not NULL for this to work as intended.
BTW, if <cmdline> contains root=, I noticed that domxml-to-native will put it in extra= instead of creating a root= entry. E.g. <cmdline>root=/dev/bla foo=bar</cmdline> converts to extra="root=/dev/bla foo=bar", which is still valid config so perhaps not such a big deal.
I think this is fine. Personally I consider the root= stuff to be a weird wart, in that it effectively exposes details of the Linux command line syntax in the xm/xl cfg file. It's far better IMHO to ignore it and write root=foo in the actual command line. Ian.

Turns out, it wasn't :). Prior to this patch, def->os.cmdline was set to NULL if 'extra' did not exist or was empty. I pushed a fix to restore the behavior, as your original patch did https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2014-June/msg00857.html Regards, Jim

Sorry about that and thanks for the fix. I see VIR_STRDUP actually does handle NULL input correctly, which was what I was worried about. Ian.

Yes, it is by design that VIR_STRDUP(NULL) works, and gives a different return value (0) than when dup'ing a string (positive) or on failure (negative). -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
