[Xen-devel] [PATCH] libxc: check return values on mmap() and madvise() on xc_alloc_hypercall_buffer()



From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof@xxxxxxxx>

On a Thinkpad T4440p with OpenSUSE tumbleweed with v3.15-rc4
and today's latest xen tip from the git tree strace -f reveals
we end up on a never ending wait shortly after

write(20, "backend/console/5\0", 18 <unfinished ...>

This is right before we just wait on the qemu process which we
had mmap'd for. Without this you'll end up getting stuck on a
loop if mmap() worked but madvise() did not. While at it I noticed
even the mmap() error fail was not being checked, fix that too.
