On server startup xend start or a later xend restart needs approx. 30 min to
start/restart. Without attached FC devices xend start/restart needs only some
seconds.
server type: Fujitsu Primergy RX600-S5
The time gets lost in xen/xend/XendNode.py line 329 while calling
vscsi_util.get_all_scsi_device().
329 for pscsi_record in vscsi_util.get_all_scsi_devices():
330 scsi_id = pscsi_record['scsi_id']
331 if scsi_id:
332 saved_HBA_uuid = None
I think, in most cases we don't need all the PSCSI devices registered in
xend, but only a few of it.
So a good solution for this perforamce issue is to scan only the SCSI device
paths we need, controlled by a new option in xend-config.sxp.
I have made a patch to allow specification of scsi devices we need in xend
in the config file xend-config.sxp.
The new options pscsi-device-mask expects a list of device ids oder partial
device ids like the option of lsscsi, e.g.
(pscsi-device-mask ('<partial-dev-id1' 'partial-dev-id2' ...))
Without this option set in xend-config.sxp or if lsscsi is not support, all
device paths are process like today.

Comment from Masaki Kanno <kanno.masaki@jp.fujitsu.com>: "Well done"
Committed-by: Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@eu.citrix.com>
Lots of places in libxl return -1 as an error which is inconsistent with
libxl error codes since that is ERROR_VERSION. Also in other places the
xc_* function to implement a command is called but the return value is
either never checked or not passed on.
This patch makes callers of libxc functions use XL_LOG_ERRNO to log a
suitable message including the contents of errno, before returning
ERROR_FAIL, if an xc call fails. (Except for pci device removals and
domain destroys where release of resources ought to continue even if
an error occurs in an early step. In this case the error is still
logged at least.)
Also a bug is fixed where a caller depends on errno being set but is
cleared by cleanup code which calls in to library functions which modify
errno as a side-effect.
This is version 2 of the patch previously applied as 91c486918e02.
Changed since then: Removed mapping from libxc error codes to libxl -
this is redundant because libxl ought to return -1 with errno set to a
meaningful value.

On domain destroy libxl currently tries to find the /vm/<uuid> and
/vss/<uuid> paths by reading /local/domain/<domid>/{vm,vss} but does
so after removing /local/domain/<domid> which isn't much use.
Also construct the xenstore path in destroy the same way as in create. It's not
wrong but I had to look twice to check they were doing the same thing.

I'm afraid this pattern is wrong for two reasons. Firstly,
xc_domain_pause and functions like it do not return XC_ERROR_* values.
They typically return -1 on error, and set errno.
Secondly, the error codes from libxc are not really all that useful.
They mostly serve to identify where the error originated.

libxl error codes since that is ERROR_VERSION. Also in other places the
xc_* function to implement a command is called but the return value is
either never checked or not passed on.
This patch introduces a new internal function libxl_xc_error() which
maps xc error codes to xl error codes. Callers of libxc functions are
converted to use this when returning error codes back to libxl callers.
Also a bug is fixed where a caller depends on errno being set but is
cleared by cleanup code which calls in to library functions which modify
errno as a side-effect.

that finds the domid and console number corresponding to the primary
console of a given vm. The domid might be different from the domid of
the VM and the console number might not be 0 when using stubdoms.
The caller (xl_cmdimpl.c in this case) has to make sure that the stubdom
is already created before calling libxl_primary_console_exec in the hvm
case. In the PV case libxl_primary_console_exec has to be called before
libxl_run_bootloader.

LOG_WARNING (or precisely LOG_DEBUG if -v) would be logged.
xenconsoled only actually logs using LOG_ERR and LOG_DEBUG so for the
most part we would have been logging absolutely nothing up until now.
Linux provides a LOG_UPTO macro but I'm not sure how portable that is
so I have opencoded the list of levels.
Do I get some sort of prize for fixing a bug introduced in 2005?

Useful if you need to read a guest filesystem (e.g. pygrub).
I'm not overly thrilled with the implementation WRT tap interfaces,
particularly WRT to detach. I was unable to find a way to get at the
paramters necessary to call tap_ctl_destroy so I assumed for now it
that is OK to assume that the tap device is going to be wanted for the
actual domain at some point in the immediate future and hence there is
no pressing need to destroy it.

This will allow us to map and then unlink the file and therefore
delete the process on process exit or explicit unmap.
Using the mmaped versions of these files required rewriting build_pv
to use the xc_dom builder functionality directly rather than through
the xc_linux_build "compatibility layer". (The status of the
xc_linux_build interface as a compatibility layer seems a bit dubious
since all existing callers use it but if anything is going to replace
it then libxl seems like the likely candidate).
I'm not thrilled with the definition of the maps lifecycle. This could
be solved by adding a helper function to explicitly free the toplevel
structure.

Use this to run xenconsole as the foreground process and move the
connection to the console in the "create -c" case early enough to be
able to view output from the bootloader. This behaviour is consistent

libxl would rather like to parse the output of pygrub. Rather than
implement an SXP parser in libxl add a --output-format option to
pygrub which can select an alternative, simpler to parse,
format. Available formats are:
sxp: current SXP output format;
simple: simple key+value output with \n separating item ( for
debugging). key and value are separated by a single
space (and key therefore cannot contain a space);
simple0: as simple but with \0 as a separator;
Also add --output-directory to allow temporary files to be placed
somewhere other than /var/run/xend/boot.
