| Thread-topic: | xenstore ring overflow when too many watches are fired |
A bug has been discovered in GPLPV that causes duplicate watches to be added when Windows resumes from a hibernate. I'm not completely sure at this point, but it appears that the firing of that many watches causes dom0 to overwrite data on the ring. Are there any protections in xenstored (which does the writing I think) against xenstore ring overflow caused by a large number (>23 I think) of watches firing in unison? I can't see any... Obviously I'll fix the GPLPV bug too, but it would be nice to know that too many watches wouldn't break xenstore. Thanks James _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel |
