"No such process" is what strerror(3) returns for ESRCH. In this case it
won't be a process which is not found but most likely it is the event
channel. (this misuse of terminology is a symptom of reusing the POSIX
errno numbers in the hypercall interface)

Ian.


Thanks for your kindness!Â

  I looked into the functions for logging, in this case,ÂÂ`3 = No such process` was from `errno`Âand theÂ`ÂHYPERVISOR_event_channel_op failed: -1Â` was from hypervisor-level error(src/xen/common/event_channel.c).
In my option, that's to say, error number of -1 was caused by hypervisor; but what was the error number of 3 caused by, Âdom0?
Do both the two error numbers refer to the description defined in errno.h or else hypervisor has its own error description?

  I run `xl restore` in sudo mode, it had no reason for `EPERM`.
