Subject: [PATCH] xen/manage: don't complain about an empty value in control/sysrq node
Date: Thu, 6 Sep 2018 13:26:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180906112608.4221-1-vkuznets@redhat.com> (raw)
When guest receives a sysrq request from the host it acknowledges it by
writing '\0' to control/sysrq xenstore node. This, however, make xenstore
watch fire again but xenbus_scanf() fails to parse empty value with "%c"
format string:
sysrq: SysRq : Emergency Sync
Emergency Sync complete
xen:manage: Error -34 reading sysrq code in control/sysrq
Ignore -ERANGE the same way we already ignore -ENOENT, empty value in
control/sysrq is totally legal.
Signed-off-by: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com>

This is a follow-up to my Xen toolstack patch:
https://lists.xenproject.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2018-09/msg00266.html
without it we're seeing -EPERM on write and the issue I'm trying to address
here stays hidden.
