XenStore puts in queued watch events via a thread and notifies the user.
Sometimes xs_unwatch is called before all related message is read. The use
case is non-threaded libevent, we have two event A and B:
- Event A will destroy something and call xs_unwatch;
- Event B is used to notify that a node has changed in XenStore.
As the event is called one by one, event A can be handled before event B.
So on next xs_watch_read the user could retrieve an unwatch token and
a segfault occured if the token store the pointer of the structure
(ie: "backend:0xcafe").
To avoid problem with previous application using libXenStore, this behaviour
will only be enabled if XS_UNWATCH_FILTER is given to xs_open.
