[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#666135: [PATCH] xen-xs: fix uuid of renamed domain

[Philipp Hahn]

When the XenStore tdb lives persistently and is not cleared between host
reboots, Xend (version 3.4 and 4.1) re-creates the domain information
located in XenStore below /vm/$UUID. (According to the xen-3.2-commit
hg265950e3df69 to fix a problem when locally migrating a domain to the
host itself.)

When doing so a version number is added to the UUID separated by one
dash, which confuses xenStoreDomainIntroduced(): It iterates over all
domains and tries to lookup all inactive domains using
xenStoreDomainGetUUID(), which fails if the running domain is renamed:
virUUIDParse() fails to parse the versioned UUID and the domain is
flagged as missing. When this happens the function delays .2s and
re-tries 20 times again, multiplied by the number of renamed VMs.
  14:48:38.878: 4285: debug : xenStoreDomainIntroduced:1354 : Some domains were missing, trying again

This adds a significant delay:
  # time virsh list >/dev/null
  real    0m6.529s
  # xenstore-list /vm

The patch adds truncation of the UUID as read from the XenStore path
before passing it to virUUIDParse().
