Hey, Harmandeep, We're almost there, I would say.
The subject is still suboptimal, IMO. I would go for something like "libxl: handle failure of xc_version() in libxl_get_version_info() The changelog...

I would have put it in the "v2:" section, below the "---". I don't mind too much if you want to leave it here, though. > diff --git a/tools/libxl/libxl.c b/tools/libxl/libxl.c > index 2d18b8d..f660280 100644 > --- a/tools/libxl/libxl.c > +++ b/tools/libxl/libxl.c > @@ -5267,42 +5267,44 @@ const libxl_version_info* > libxl_get_version_info(libxl_ctx *ctx) > xen_platform_parameters_t p_parms; > xen_commandline_t xen_commandline; > } u; > - long xen_version; > + long r = 0; > libxl_version_info *info = &ctx->version_info; > > if (info->xen_version_extra != NULL) > goto out; > > - xen_version = xc_version(ctx->xch, XENVER_version, NULL); > - info->xen_version_major = xen_version >> 16; > - info->xen_version_minor = xen_version & 0xFF; > - > - xc_version(ctx->xch, XENVER_extraversion, &u.xen_extra); > + r = xc_version(ctx->xch, XENVER_version, NULL); > + if (r < 0) goto out; > + r = xc_version(ctx->xch, XENVER_extraversion, &u.xen_extra); > + if (r < 0) goto out; > + r = xc_version(ctx->xch, XENVER_compile_info, &u.xen_cc); > + if (r < 0) goto out; > + r = xc_version(ctx->xch, XENVER_capabilities, &u.xen_caps); > + if (r < 0) goto out; > + r = xc_version(ctx->xch, XENVER_changeset, &u.xen_chgset); > + if (r < 0) goto out; > + r = xc_version(ctx->xch, XENVER_platform_parameters, > &u.p_parms); > + if (r < 0) goto out; > + r = info->pagesize = xc_version(ctx->xch, XENVER_pagesize, > NULL); > + if (r < 0) goto out; > + r = xc_version(ctx->xch, XENVER_commandline, > &u.xen_commandline); > + if (r < 0) goto out; > + > + info->xen_version_major = r >> 16; > + info->xen_version_minor = r & 0xFF; > But now you are using the value of 'r' returned by xc_version(ctx->xch, XENVER_commandline, &u.xen_commandline), which is not what you want! You either need to make the call to xc_version(ctx->xch, XENVER_version, NULL) the last one, or avoid getting rid of the xen_version local variable. I'd do the latter. I know it was me that suggested you did not need it, but that was with the previous structure of the function. With this re- arrangement, I think it's more than fine to keep it. But that's mostly a matter of taste (yours, and tools' maintainers' one :-D). > out: > GC_FREE; > - return info; > + return r < 0 ? NULL:info; > NULL : info; (spaces around ':').
