When running under Xen as dom0 /dev/mcelog is being registered by Xen
instead of the normal mcelog driver. Avoid an error message being
issued by the mcelog driver in this case. Instead issue an informative
message that Xen has registered the device.

Please only use balanced curly braces in conditional statements.

Perhaps better is to reverse the test
if (err != -EBUSY) {
pr_err("Unable to ....", err);
return err;
}
pr_info("etc...");
[ rest of code at this indentation ]
but it looks like you added a logic defect too and
this code should be:
if (err) {
if (err == -EBUSY)
pr_info(...)
else
pr_err(...)
return err;
}
or less indented using
err = misc_register(&mce_chrdev_device);
if (err == -EBUSY) {
pr_info(...);
return err;
} else if (err) {
pr_err(...);
return err;
}

I didn't want to omit the call to mce_register_decode_chain() in the Xen
case.

You should definitely mention that behavior change
in the changelog.

Looking more thoroughly it seems I really don't need the call for Xen.
So thanks for bringing it up. :-)

Perhaps better is to reverse the test
if (err != -EBUSY) {
pr_err("Unable to ....", err);
return err;
}
pr_info("etc...");
[ rest of code at this indentation ]
but it looks like you added a logic defect too and
this code should be:
if (err) {
if (err == -EBUSY)
pr_info(...)
else
pr_err(...)
return err;
}
or less indented using
err = misc_register(&mce_chrdev_device);
if (err == -EBUSY) {
pr_info(...);
return err;
} else if (err) {
pr_err(...);
return err;
}

Please only use balanced curly braces in conditional statements.

When running under Xen as dom0 /dev/mcelog is being registered by Xen
instead of the normal mcelog driver. Avoid an error message being
issued by the mcelog driver in this case. Instead issue an informative
message that Xen has registered the device.
