Date: Tue, 5 Oct 2010 13:50:57 +0100 From: stefano.stabellini@...citrix.com To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: xen-devel@...ts.xensource.com, Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@...p.org>, Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@...citrix.com> Subject: [PATCH 1/2] xen: do not set xenstored_ready before xenbus_probe on hvm From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@...citrix.com> Register_xenstore_notifier should guarantee that the caller gets notified even if xenstore is already up. Therefore we revert "do not notify callers from register_xenstore_notifier" and set xenstored_read at the right time for PV on HVM guests too. In fact in case of PV on HVM guests xenstored is ready only after the platform pci driver has completed the initialization, so do not set xenstored_ready before the call to xenbus_probe(). This patch fixes a shutdown_event watcher registration bug that causes "xm shutdown" not to work properly.
