Hi Dexuan,
I agree that this looks a lot like a work-around. I was initially very
reluctant to apply it. And I would still be very happy if someone could
find a better solution. My analysis of the problem is as follows:
What I now think is happening is that for some reason on your system
when _createDevices() initialises the devices in xenstore using
_createDevice() then end up with no state entry. Whereas on my system
then end up with state 3=Initialised.
It seems to me that actually the behaviour of your system is correct and
my system is bogus. I really don't know why that is the case - are you
using the stock xenstore implementation in C, or the Ocaml version?
In any case, it seems to be that your original work-around was more or
less correct. I'll just tweak it a bit to handle the case where
cleanupDevices() is shuffling entries because one or more have been
deleted and repost it.
