everytime you release !xenheap memory, it checks t->tot_pages and if
its zero releases a d->recnt. only when the refcnt = 1 (made zero by
destroy) will destroy get called.
OK, to expand on your answer a bit, the difference is that the HTAB is
allocated from the Xen heap, while the RMA is allocated from the
domain
heap. We have to free all domain heap memory in
domain_relinquish_resources(), and only then will domain_destroy() be
called.
I think it might make sense to allocate the HTAB from the domain heap
instead, but it's working for now...
maybe, can't see why not. In fact I'd like to see the domain give up
their own non-RMA memory to "make" an htab. This allows for a very
clean max_domains = (memory - 64M)/memory_per_domain. Makes
configuration-management way easier.
/me sees hollis with that look on his face again :)
