Subject: [PATCH v2] docs/man: add shutdown reasons to xl (list) man page
Date: Fri,  8 Mar 2024 16:19:20 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <0a2fcad111622431b8cd54c69adc3dedd24fb572.1709910923.git.slack@rabbit.lu> (raw)

Add the shutdown reasons to the paragraph of "xl list" concerning the
shutdown status.
I have adapted the explanations from the source code :

 - tools/xl/xl_info.c : function "list_domains()", variable
   "shutdown_reason_letters"
 - xen/include/public/sched.h : variable "shed_shutdown_reason"

Suggested-by: Roger Pau Monné <roger.pau@citrix.com>
Signed-off-by: Cyril Rébert / zithro <slack@rabbit.lu>

v2:
- apply changes from Anthony and Roger

Questions (unblocking):
 - why a double space between all sentences ?
 - how to get a "simple LF" ? Ie. I want to use <br>, not <p>
   (a simple <Enter> has no effect, a double renders a <p>)

 The domain has crashed, which is always a violent ending.  Usually
 this state only occurs if the domain has been configured not to
 restart on a crash.  See L<xl.cfg(5)> for more info.

+The domain asked to perform 'soft reset' for it.  The expected behavior
+is to reset internal Xen state for the domain returning it to the point
+where it was created but leaving the domain's memory contents and vCPU
+contexts intact.  This will allow the domain to start over and set up
+all Xen specific interfaces again.
