"No such process" is what strerror(3) returns for ESRCH. In this case it
won't be a process which is not found but most likely it is the event
channel. (this misuse of terminology is a symptom of reusing the POSIX
errno numbers in the hypercall interface)

Ian.

Thanks for your kindness!

I looked into the functions for logging, in this case, `3 = No such process` was from `errno` and the ` HYPERVISOR_event_channel_op failed: -1 ` was from hypervisor-level error(src/xen/common/event_channel.c).
In my option, that's to say, error number of -1 was caused by hypervisor; but what was the error number of 3 caused by, dom0?
Do both the two error numbers refer to the description defined in errno.h or else hypervisor has its own error description?

I run `xl restore` in sudo mode, it had no reason for `EPERM`.

160-static long evtchn_bind_interdomain(evtchn_bind_interdomain_t *bind)

161{

162 struct evtchn *lchn, *rchn;

163 struct domain *ld = current->domain, *rd;

164 int lport, rport = bind->remote_port;

165 domid_t rdom = bind->remote_dom;

166 long rc;

167

168 if ( rdom == DOMID_SELF )

169 rdom = current->domain->domain_id;

170

171 if ( (rd = rcu_lock_domain_by_id(rdom)) == NULL )

172 return -ESRCH;

but in actually, the error `xc_evtchn_alloc_unbound will raise this error: xc: error: do_evtchn_op: HYPERVISOR_event_channel_op failed: -1 (3 = No such process): Internal error.` I mentioned above is
