[Xen-devel] [PATCH] tools/oxenstored: port XS_INTRODUCE evtchn rebind function from cxenstored
Posted by Igor Druzhinin 4 years, 7 months ago
C version of xenstored had this ability since 61aaed0d5 ("Allow
XS_INTRODUCE to be used for rebinding the xenstore evtchn.") from 2007.
Copy it as is to Ocaml version.

This should use <> instead of != because != is pointer inequality in OCaml. The parentheses are not strictly necessary because function application has precedence. So:

	if Domain.get_mfn edom = mfn && Connections.find_domain cons domid <> con then begin

But I actually want to compare pointers here - the idea is that the
connection object in the hashtable indexed by domid is not the same as
connection that we got XS_INTRODUCE message from. (see
tools/xenstore/xenstrored_domain.c)

In your code, a != b is true, if a and b have identical structure but different addresses. I strongly suspect that two connection values should have different structure to be considered different, not just different addresses. When a <> b is true, it implies a != b. So using a <> b is safe(r). By using != you would rely on an invariant that every connection (con) exists only once and is never copied.

Connection is a complex object (has various counters and internal
structures) and I don't think simple field by field comparison (is <>
just that in Ocaml?) is appropriate here.

con is passed into that function from xenstored.ml where it's extracted
from the same hashtable (Connections) so it's actually the exactly same
object. There are other examples in connections.ml where pointer
comparison is used to compare connections.

This comes down to what semantics you want. It is unfortunate that Connection.t is not abstract and its equality not well defined. Using != now relies on the fact that you only compare values stored in the same hash table.
