[PATCH v5 16/22] tools/xl: support new 9pfs backend xen_9pfsd
Posted by Juergen Gross 7 months ago
Add support for the new 9pfs backend "xen_9pfsd". For this backend type
the tag defaults to "Xen" and the host side path to
"/var/log/xen/guests/<dom-name>".

Do most of the default settings in libxl. Unfortunately the default
path can't easily be set in libxl, as the domain name isn't available
in the related 9pfs specific function.

Settings the defaults in libxl requires to move the sanity checking
of 9pfs parameters from xl to libxl, too.

It might be possible to do that in libxl__domain_config_setdefault(), or
maybe in initiate_domain_create(), but I guess that's fine to set the
default path in xl. Users of libxl might want to have a different
default path.
