Description

Xenstore, to have an up-to-date picture of the entire system, wants to<br /> know of domains appearing and disappearing. To make this more robust, a<br /> new XEN_DOMCTL_get_domain_state was introduced. The management of the<br /> bitmap underlying that operation is tied into the binding of the<br /> VIRQ_DOM_EXC virtual IRQ. Unfortunately an error path there would tear<br /> down the bitmap even in cases when it wasn&amp;#39;t set up. Unprivileged domains<br /> can trigger that error path.
