This series fixes a few issues found while testing migration with
latest Xen and libvirt.  See the individual patches for details.

[PATCH 1/3] libxl: fix ref counting of libxlMigrationDstArgs

[Jim Fehlig]

This patch fixes some flawed logic around ref counting the
libxlMigrationDstArgs object.

First, when adding sockets to the event loop with
virNetSocketAddIOCallback(), the generic virObjectFreeCallback()
was registered as a free function, with libxlMigrationDstArgs as
its parameter. A reference was also taken on
libxlMigrationDstArgs for each successful call to
virNetSocketAddIOCallback(). The rational behind this logic was
that the libxlMigrationDstArgs object had to out-live the socket
objects. But virNetSocketAddIOCallback() already takes a
reference on socket objects, ensuring their life until removed
from the event loop and unref'ed in virNetSocketEventFree(). We
only need to ensure libxlMigrationDstArgs lives until
libxlDoMigrateReceive() finishes, which can be done by simply
unref'ing libxlMigrationDstArgs at the end of
libxlDoMigrateReceive().

The second flaw was unref'ing the sockets in the failure path of
libxlMigrateReceive() and at the end of libxlDoMigrateReceive().
As mentioned above, the sockets are already unref'ed by
virNetSocketEventFree() when removed from the event loop.
Attempting to unref the socket a second time resulted in a
libvirtd crash since the socket was previously unref'ed and
disposed.

[PATCH 2/3] libxl: don't attempt to resume domain when suspend fails

[Jim Fehlig]

Failure of libxl_domain_suspend() does not leave the domain in
a suspended state, so no need to call libxl_domain_resume(),
which btw will fail with "domain not suspended".

AFAICT, the xl migration code does not call libxl_domain_resume()
when libxl_domain_suspend() fails either. Perhaps one of the Xen
tools maintainers can verify if calling libxl_domain_resume() is
unnecessary when libxl_domain_suspend() fails.

[PATCH 3/3] libxl: acquire a job when receiving a migrating domain

[Jim Fehlig]

Commit f86ae403 moved acquiring a job from libxlDomainStart()
to its callers. One spot missed was in libxlDoMigrateReceive().
Acquire a job in libxlDoMigrateReceive() before calling
libxlDomainStart().

This is now below the 'error' label, so args has to be initialized.

Opps. I've squashed in the below obvious fix. Note it is safe to call 
virObjectUnref with a NULL object.

Any other comments on this series? It fixes bugs in migration, including a 
possible libvirtd crash, and would be a candidate to push during freeze IMO.

Jim
