[Xen-devel] Refcounting domains... is this a bug?

[Tobias Hunger <tobias@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi there!

I am having trouble destroying domains: The ref_count of the domain stays at 
one, so it never gets properly destructed.

I looked a bit into the problem and I think it has something to do with the 
grant_table.

When calling do_createdomain during creation of a domain the grant table is 
set up and the reference count is incremented by the SHARE_PFN_WITH_DOMAIN 
macro. During destruction of a domain the grant table seems to be completely 
ignored... and thus the refcount stays 1 when Xen is done with the 
DESTROYDOMAIN hypercall.

Could someone with a better understanding of the issue look into this 
please... I am still reading up on all those memory issues a kernel has to 
deal with:-)
