commit 1a362e2a36dd06d748531917d07dbab42fe0eae3 Author: Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> AuthorDate: Thu Apr 2 15:32:22 2015 +0100 Commit: Ian Jackson <Ian.Jackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> CommitDate: Thu Apr 2 16:10:03 2015 +0100 Revert "tools/libxl: Adjust datacopiers POLLHUP handling when the fd is also readable" The bootloader code is relying on detecting POLLHUP, and 7e9ec50b breaks that. 7e9ec50b, when handling a pty master, violates the specification of the datacopier interface (as defined). When the bootloader exits, several things change, all at once: (a) The master pty fd (held by libxl) starts to signal POLLHUP and maybe also POLLIN. (b) The child exits (so that the SIGCHLD self-pipe signals POLLIN, which will be handled by the libxl child process code. (c) reads on the master pty fd start to return EOF From the point of view of the datacopier these might happen in any order. I think there is a latent bug with (c), which I will discuss later in this email. In a recent bug report from a FreeBSD installation, the datacopier gets told about (a) before (b). But 7e9ec50b filters the POLLHUP out, so that the dc signals eof rather than hup. As a result in bootloader_copyfail we take the error path. This reverts commit 7e9ec50b0535bf2630da9d279a060775817d136d.
