[Xen-devel] do_domctl and EAGAIN

[Juergen Gross <juergen.gross@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

certain domctl hypercalls (and possibly others as well) might fail with errno
EAGAIN. This case seems to be tested only in very few places, e.g. in
xc_domain_destroy.

Is there any reason why this case isn't handled in do_domctl?
Shouldn't EINTR be handled as well?

The other solution would be to have two versions of do_domctl, one of them
looping in case of EAGAIN or EINTR.

I suspect this lack of errno-testing could lead to very sporadic failures...
