[Xen-devel] [PATCH v6 4/6] libxl: allow creation of domains with a specified or random domid



This patch adds a 'domid' field to libxl_domain_create_info and then
modifies libxl__domain_make() to have Xen use that value if it is valid.
If the domid value is invalid then Xen will choose the domid, as before,
unless the value is the new special RANDOM_DOMID value added to the API.
This value instructs libxl__domain_make() to choose a random domid value
for Xen to use.

If Xen determines that a domid specified to or chosen by
libxl__domain_make() co-incides with an existing domain then the create
operation will fail. In this case, if RANDOM_DOMID was specified to
libxl__domain_make() then a new random value will be chosen and the create
operation will be re-tried, otherwise libxl__domain_make() will fail.

After Xen has successfully created a new domain, libxl__domain_make() will
check whether its domid matches any recently used domid values. If it does
then the domain will be destroyed. If the domid used in creation was
specified to libxl__domain_make() then it will fail at this point,
otherwise the create operation will be re-tried with either a new random
or Xen-selected domid value.

v6:
 - Addressed further comments from Ian

v5:
 - Flattened nested loops

v4:
 - Not added Jason's R-b because of substantial change
 - Check for recent domid *after* creation
 - Re-worked commit comment

v3:
 - Added DOMID_MASK definition used to mask randomized values
 - Use stack variable to avoid assuming endianness

v2:
 - Re-worked to use a value from libxl_domain_create_info
