From a quick glance through the privcmd driver (in linux-2.6-xen- sparse/drivers/xen/privcmd/privcmd.c ) it seems that an error 14 (EFAULT) is returned by the privcmd ioctl when there is a problem on carrying out a copy_from_user() of the arguments to the ioctl.

This ioctl is wrapped by the xc_map_foreign_*, do_privcmd and do_xen_hypercall functions in tools/libxc/xc_linux.c . Another possibility is in the evtchn driver (in linux-2.6-xen-sparse/drivers/ xen/evtchn/evtchn.c ), in which the evtchn_read, _write and _ioctl functions can also return -EFAULT. This functions are also wrapped by functions in xc_linux.c.

Hope this helps.

Derek Murray.
