Description Guilherme de Almeida Suckevicz 2020-12-08 18:33:43 UTC
Nodes in xenstore have an ownership.  In oxenstored, a owner could
give a node away.  But node ownership has quota implications.

Any guest can run another guest out of quota, or create an unbounded
number of nodes owned by dom0, thus running xenstored out of memory.
