[Xen-devel] [PATCH 0/6] libxl last fixups

[Vincent Hanquez <vincent.hanquez@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Last batch of important fixups intertwined with various cleanups and stability 
fixes:

Lots of more values checking, and abort as soon as there are errors. Contains a
critical usability fix regarding waitpid (typo in option) and without this
batch it's very easy to trigger a SIGBUS in xenstored.

The library is now robust to:
- missing xenstored
- missing xenctrl privcmd
- not enough memory to build a domain
- missing vif devices
- and some usually unexpected situation

not addressed yet: fixup stubdomains building to have the same robustness.

Vincent Hanquez (6):
  tests a lots more of xl return value inside the library and in xl.
  do not try to set memory target with a number we haven't verified in set-mem.
  misc cleanup
  typo in old patch, lead to waitpid forever instead of waitpid with WNOHANG
  remove ctx argument to exec
  remove ctx dangerously passed to children.
