[Xen-devel] [PATCH] libxc: check for null size file mapping

[Paul Semel <semelpaul@xxxxxxxxx>]

Changed the error message when trying to map a null size file.
When doing `xl create` command, we get an Invalid Kernel error
when the file size is greater than zero. For zero length files, we are
falling in the mmap error, and we get an `Invalid parameter` error,
which is not explicit. With this change, we get a `zero length file`
error.
