IIRC, we originally said that domain_nbentry_dec() could never fail in a non-transaction case. But with your current rework, the function can now fail because of an allocation failure.

How would that be possible to happen?

domain_nbentry_dec() can only be called if a node is being owned by an already known domain. So allocation is impossible to happen, as this would be a major
error in xenstored.

From my understanding, the nodes accounting will be temporary and then committed at the end of the request.

So we would call acc_add_changed_dom() which may require allocation to hold the temporary accounting.


Therefore, shouldn't we now check the error? (Possibly in a patch beforehand).

I don't think so. I can add a comment if you want.

See above.

Cheers,
