Re: [PATCH v3] tools/xenstore: don't store domU's mfn of ring page in xenstored



Hi Juergen,

The XS_INTRODUCE command has two parameters: the mfn (or better: gfn)
of the domain's xenstore ring page and the event channel of the
domain for communicating with Xenstore.

The gfn is not really needed. It is stored in the per-domain struct
in xenstored and in case of another XS_INTRODUCE for the domain it
is tested to match the original value. If it doesn't match the
command is aborted via EINVAL, otherwise the event channel to the
domain is recreated.

As XS_INTRODUCE is limited to dom0 and there is no real downside of
recreating the event channel just omit the test for the gfn to
match and don't return EINVAL for multiple XS_INTRODUCE calls.
