...ecause there is not necessarily any lock held at the point the application (eg, libvirt) calls libxl_osevent_occurred_timeout, in a multithreaded program those calls may be arbitrarily delayed in relation to other activities within the program. Specifically this means when ->timeout_deregister returns, libxl does not know whether it can safely dispose of the for_libxl value or whether it needs to retain it in case of an in-progress call to _occurred_timeout. The interface could be fixed by requiring the application to make a new call into libxl to say that the de...

The following series of patches fill in most of the gaps in the OCaml bindings to libxl, to make them useful for clients such as xapi/xenopsd (from XCP). There are a number of bugfixes to the existing bindings as well. I have an experimental version of xenopsd that successfully uses the new bindings. An earlier version of the first half of the series was submitted to the last by Ian Campbell on
