Although this looks potentially reasonable, I'm not sure about the approach of SIGHUPing a dom0 'proxy' process to kill an hvm stub domain. How hard would it be to teach xend just enough about hvm stub domains to have it directly kill the stub domain at the same time as it kills the normal hvm domain? I think this would yield a more robust 'xm destroy' which could handle a wider range of stub-domain-related hangs/crashes. -- Keir On 4/2/08 11:07, "Samuel Thibault" <samuel.thibault@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > The stub domain device model needs to trap the termination signal so as > to actually destroy the stub domain.
