current callers do ensure the memory is freed, only the code in xl's

This patch fixes the problem and adds a DEBUG log line to allow easy

of libxl__device_generic_add() is dropped as it leads to a confusing situation
where only partial backend information is written under the xenstore

This patch adds a new get_path() method to libxl__device_type to allow a
backend implementation (such as PCI) to specify the xenstore path where
devices are enumerated and modifies libxl__device_list() to use this method
if it is available. Also, if the get_num() method is defined then the
from_xenstore() method expects to be passed the backend path without the device
number concatenated, so this issue is also rectified.

DEFINE_DEVICE_TYPE_STRUCT_X is still removed to avoid the special case in

The different fixed limits for absolute and relative path lengths of
Xenstore nodes make it possible to create per-domain nodes via
absolute paths which are not accessible using relative paths, as the
two limits differ by 1024 characters.
Instead of this weird limits use only one limit, which applies to the
relative path length of per-domain nodes and to the absolute path
length of all other nodes. This means, the path length check is
applied to the path after removing a possible start of
"/local/domain/<n>/" with <n> being a domain id.
There has been the request to be able to limit the path lengths even
more, so an additional quota is added which can be applied to path
lengths. It is XENSTORE_REL_PATH_MAX (2048) per default, but can be
set to lower values. This is done via the new "-M" or "--path-max"

However the OCaml version has some additional data structures to

exceed its watch quota, driving oxenstored into OOM:
* create watches
* reset watches (this still keeps the watches lingering in another data

* create some more watches
* loop until oxenstored dies
The guest kernel doesn't necessarily have to be malicious to trigger
this:
* if control/platform-feature-xs_reset_watches is set
* the guest kexecs (e.g. because it crashes)
* on boot more watches are set up
* this will slowly "leak" memory for watches in oxenstored, driving it

this is currently happening in two places:
* In `handle_input()` if the sanity check on the ring and the message
fails.
* In `handle_output()` when failing to write the response in the ring.
As the domain structure is a child of the connection, XenStored will
destroy its view of the domain when killing the connection. This will
result in sending @releaseDomain event to all the watchers.
As the watch event doesn't carry which domain has been released,
the watcher (such as XenStored) will generally go through the list of
domains registers and check if one of them is shutting down/dying.
In the case of a client misbehaving, the domain will likely to be
running, so no action will be performed.
When the domain is effectively destroyed, XenStored will not be aware of
the domain anymore. So the watch event is not going to be sent.
By consequence, the watchers of the event will not release mappings
they may have on the domain. This will result in a zombie domain.
In order to send @releaseDomain event at the correct time, we want
to keep the domain structure until the domain is effectively
shutting-down/dying.
We also want to keep the connection around so we could possibly revive
the connection in the future.
A new flag 'is_ignored' is added to mark whether a connection should be
ignored when checking if there are work to do. Additionally any
transactions, watches, buffers associated to the connection will be
freed as you can't do much with them (restarting the connection will
likely need a reset).
As a side note, when the device model were running in a stubdomain, a
guest would have been able to introduce a use-after-free because there
is two parents for a guest connection.

Currently, oxenstored checks the length of paths against 1024, then
prepends "/local/domain/$DOMID/" to relative paths. This allows a domU
to create paths which can't subsequently be read by anyone, even dom0.
This also interferes with listing directories, etc.
Define a new oxenstored.conf entry: quota-path-max, defaulting to 1024
as before. For paths that begin with "/local/domain/$DOMID/" check the
relative path length against this quota. For all other paths check the
entire path length.
This ensures that if the domid changes (and thus the length of a prefix
changes) a path that used to be valid stays valid (e.g. after a
live-migration). It also ensures that regardless how the client tries
to access a path (domid-relative or absolute) it will get consistent
results, since the limit is always applied on the final canonicalized
path.
Delete the unused Domain.get_path to avoid it being confused with
Connection.get_path (which differs by a trailing slash only).
Rewrite Util.path_validate to apply the appropriate length restriction
based on whether the path is relative or not. Remove the check for
connection_path being absolute, because it is not guest controlled data.

domain ids are prone to wrapping (15-bits), and with sufficient number
of VMs in a reboot loop it is possible to trigger it. Xenstore entries
may linger after a domain dies, until a toolstack cleans it up. During
this time there is a window where a wrapped domid could access these
xenstore keys (that belonged to another VM).
To prevent this do a cleanup when a domain dies:
* walk the entire xenstore tree and update permissions for all nodes
* if the dead domain had an ACL entry: remove it
* if the dead domain was the owner: change the owner to Dom0
This is done without quota checks or a transaction. Quota checks would
be a no-op (either the domain is dead, or it is Dom0 where they are not
enforced). Transactions are not needed, because this is all done
atomically by oxenstored's single thread.
The xenstore entries owned by the dead domain are not deleted, because
that could confuse a toolstack / backends that are still bound to it
(or generate unexpected watch events). It is the responsibility of a
toolstack to remove the xenstore entries themselves.
