Hello,
Domain kernel has arch/xen/kernel/reboot.c, which executes shutdown
and halt on request. But one problem is that we have the path and
command options fixed in the kernel, like this:
 static char *restart_argv[] = { "/sbin/shutdown", "-r", "now", NULL };
 static char *poweroff_argv[] = { "/sbin/halt", "-p", NULL };
That is kind of violating the rule: kernel should never enforce the
policy to the user. We can see the problem if for example domU uses
busybox instead of sysvinit: busybox doesnt support "halt -p", so "xm
shutdown" cannot shutdown the domU.
Should we care enough to fix this problem?
regards,
aq
