Unless I'm misreading, none of your patches seem to use this function.
What are you adding this mechanism for?
The patch using that isn't fully polished yet for submission. Sneak
preview is here:
http://kraxel.fedorapeople.org/patches/qemu-upstream/0015-xen-domain-builder.patch
Adds pv domain builder to qemu, so you can start pv xen guests using
qemu only. In that case we'll want to destroy the guest domain when
qemu goes down because the xen management stack will not cleanup after us.
I was asking because I thought it may be something like this. An
alternative to this signal handler stuff would be to fork() off a
process with another end of a pipe. That process could just sit their
waiting for eof and when eof was received, it could destroy the domain.
The main advantage of this approach is that it works in every possible
circumstance. Even if the qemu process totally borks it's stack or
tramples over memory in such a way as to render the signal handling code
broken.
