Hello, when either "xl restore" or "xl create" command is invoked, a global lock is acquired here:
https://github.com/xen-project/xen/blob/master/tools/xl/xl_vmcontrol.c#L876 I'm trying to figure out what is the exact importance of this lock? Is it really critical for XL operation? I have a pretty powerful machine on which I want to run a few dozen of short-lived VMs. This lock is seriously slowing me down, not letting to restore more than one domain at once. Turns out that everything still works fine (and much faster) when I comment-out the lock in the abovementioned place, but I'm not sure if it's a correct impression. Does anyone know if there is a situation in which Xen would screw up without this lock?
