[PATCH v2 1/8] tools/xenstore: add live update command to xenstore-control
Posted by Edwin Török 5 years ago
From: Juergen Gross <jgross@suse.com>

Add the "live-update" command to xenstore-control enabling updating
xenstored to a new version in a running Xen system.

With -c <arg> it is possible to pass a different command line to the
new instance of xenstored. This will replace the command line used
for the invocation of the just running xenstored instance.

The running xenstored (or xenstore-stubdom) needs to support live
updating, of course.

For now just add a small dummy handler to C xenstore denying any
live update action.

Instead of merging multiple patches of mine into a single one and
sending it here with my S-o-b I'd prefer a simple caveat for your
series to depend on my C-xenstore series.

This additionally reduces the risk to miss any modifications in
my series done in a later iteration than the one you have taken.

Yes, I should've added a link to that in my cover letter,
in the next revision I'll point to:

I've reordered the patches and changed the base, it should be gone the
next I do git format-patch:
https://github.com/edwintorok/xen/pull/1/commits

Will also remove
https://github.com/edwintorok/xen/pull/1/commits/47dd1d9b99b9210e94fbd4af28afee8088d5267
once I implemented the change in oxenstored to not return BUSY that we
discussed.
