xenstored doesn''t stop correctly. There is no point in stopping xenstored if we are going to break the host.

Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 1 of 3] xencommons: Kill xenstored when stopping xencommons
Seems like a comment to that effect in the script would be useful, then. :-) What doesn''t stop correctly? I''ve manually killed it and started it again, and it seemed to work. Granted, there wasn''t a whole lot stored in it at the time... -George On 28/06/10 14:08, Stefano Stabellini wrote:> xenstored doesn''t stop correctly. > There is no point in stopping xenstored if we are going to break the > host. > > On Mon, 28 Jun 2010, George Dunlap wrote: >> Signed-off-by: George Dunlap<george.dunlap@eu.citrix.com> >> >> diff -r bf64e1081333 -r e71645625934 tools/hotplug/Linux/init.d/xencommons >> --- a/tools/hotplug/Linux/init.d/xencommons Fri Jun 25 16:05:20 2010 +0100 >> +++ b/tools/hotplug/Linux/init.d/xencommons Mon Jun 28 13:24:26 2010 +0100 >> @@ -22,6 +22,7 @@ >> test -f /etc/sysconfig/xencommons&& . /etc/sysconfig/xencommons >> >> XENCONSOLED_PIDFILE=/var/run/xenconsoled.pid >> +XENSTORED_PIDFILE=/var/run/xenstored.pid >> shopt -s extglob >> >> if test "x$1" = xstart&& \ >> @@ -42,7 +43,7 @@ >> test -z "$XENSTORED_ROOTDIR" || XENSTORED_ROOTDIR="/var/lib/xenstored" >> rm -f "$XENSTORED_ROOTDIR"/tdb*&>/dev/null >> test -z "$XENSTORED_TRACE" || XENSTORED_ARGS=" -T /var/log/xen/xenstored-trace.log" >> - xenstored --pid-file=/var/run/xenstore.pid $XENSTORED_ARGS >> + xenstored --pid-file=$XENSTORED_PIDFILE $XENSTORED_ARGS >> xenstore-write "/local/domain/0/name" "Domain-0" >> fi >> >> @@ -57,6 +58,12 @@ >> while kill -9 $pid>/dev/null 2>&1; do sleep 0.1; done >> rm -f $XENCONSOLED_PIDFILE >> fi >> + >> + if read 2>/dev/null<$XENSTORED_PIDFILE pid; then >> + kill $pid >> + while kill -9 $pid>/dev/null 2>&1; do sleep 0.1; done >> + rm -f $XENSTORED_PIDFILE >> + fi >> } >> >> case "$1" in >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Xen-devel mailing list >> Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com >> http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel >>_______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH 1 of 3] xencommons: Kill xenstored when stopping xencommons
xenstored cannot be restarted once stopped so I think we want to be careful about ever stopping it in a command which a user might "normally" call.

Same thing for any domU''s you might have running, they will loose the ability to attach and detach devices, the watch on the control node which controls reboot etc goes away etc. Ian.> > -George > > On 28/06/10 14:08, Stefano Stabellini wrote: > > xenstored doesn''t stop correctly. > > There is no point in stopping xenstored if we are going to break the > > host. > > > > On Mon, 28 Jun 2010, George Dunlap wrote: > >> Signed-off-by: George Dunlap<george.dunlap@eu.citrix.com> > >> > >> diff -r bf64e1081333 -r e71645625934 tools/hotplug/Linux/init.d/xencommons > >> --- a/tools/hotplug/Linux/init.d/xencommons Fri Jun 25 16:05:20 2010 +0100 > >> +++ b/tools/hotplug/Linux/init.d/xencommons Mon Jun 28 13:24:26 2010 +0100 > >> @@ -22,6 +22,7 @@ > >> test -f /etc/sysconfig/xencommons&& . /etc/sysconfig/xencommons > >> > >> XENCONSOLED_PIDFILE=/var/run/xenconsoled.pid > >> +XENSTORED_PIDFILE=/var/run/xenstored.pid > >> shopt -s extglob > >> > >> if test "x$1" = xstart&& \ > >> @@ -42,7 +43,7 @@ > >> test -z "$XENSTORED_ROOTDIR" || XENSTORED_ROOTDIR="/var/lib/xenstored" > >> rm -f "$XENSTORED_ROOTDIR"/tdb*&>/dev/null > >> test -z "$XENSTORED_TRACE" || XENSTORED_ARGS=" -T /var/log/xen/xenstored-trace.log" > >> - xenstored --pid-file=/var/run/xenstore.pid $XENSTORED_ARGS > >> + xenstored --pid-file=$XENSTORED_PIDFILE $XENSTORED_ARGS > >> xenstore-write "/local/domain/0/name" "Domain-0" > >> fi > >> > >> @@ -57,6 +58,12 @@ > >> while kill -9 $pid>/dev/null 2>&1; do sleep 0.1; done > >> rm -f $XENCONSOLED_PIDFILE > >> fi > >> + > >> + if read 2>/dev/null<$XENSTORED_PIDFILE pid; then > >> + kill $pid > >> + while kill -9 $pid>/dev/null 2>&1; do sleep 0.1; done > >> + rm -f $XENSTORED_PIDFILE > >> + fi > >> } > >> > >> case "$1" in > >> > >> _______________________________________________ > >> Xen-devel mailing list > >> Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com > >> http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel > >> > > > _______________________________________________ > Xen-devel mailing list > Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com > http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel_______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-devel

Was the intention that users only ever use a "restart" target (assuming it passes --restart) in the initscript rather than the stop->start pair some people are used to? Even if stop does a clean shutdown unless start uses --restart we have the same issue with forgetting watches etc. Do we need a separate start-like target which reads the db (for use after you''ve done a stop) or is it safe to use --restart by default? Can an initscript distinguish a start at start of day from a start run by the user (following an earlier stop) and hence add the --restart automagically?
