[Xen-devel] watches not working from domU userspace

["Cihula, Joseph" <joseph.cihula@xxxxxxxxx>]

It seems that xenstore watches do not work from domU userspace (they
obviously do for drivers).

In some preliminary debugging of this, there are two aspects of the
failure:  not sending the watch to xenstore and not handling watch
events for userspace watches.  The former can be easily fixed by adding
the missing 'case XS_WATCH:'  to xenbus_dev_write() in xenbus_dev.c.
The latter is more difficult to fix.  So before I tackle it, I wanted to
see if anyone else was already working on a solution or just had some
thoughts to share on possible solutions.
