[Xen-devel] [PATCH] libxc: match types of 'subject' and 'foreigndom' between struct xc_mmu and do_mmu_update



In do_mmu_update() (in the hypervisor) the parameter 'foreigndom' is
'unsigned int' and both its high (bits 31-16) and low (bits 15-0) are
parts utilised, as explained here:
 
http://xenbits.xen.org/docs/unstable/hypercall/include,public,xen.h.html#Func_HYPERVISOR_mmu_update

However, the actual parameter, i.e., the 'subject' field in
struct xc_mmu is declared as domid_t, which typedef-s to uint16_t.
This means we are never able to pass anything via the higher 16 bits
of 'foreigndom', which in turns may cause the hypercall to fail when
called on an actual foreign domain.
