From 5842f5768599094758931b74190cdf93641a8e35 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk Date: Wed, 23 May 2012 12:56:59 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] xen/hvc: Check HVM_PARAM_CONSOLE_[EVTCHN|PFN] for correctness. We need to make sure that those parameters are setup to be correct. As such the value of 0 is deemed invalid and we find that we bail out. The hypervisor sets by default all of them to be zero and when the hypercall is done does a simple: a.value = d->arch.hvm_domain.params[a.index]; Which means that if the Xen toolstack forgot to setup the proper HVM_PARAM_CONSOLE_EVTCHN (or the PFN one), we would get the default value of 0 and use that.
