Subject: [PATCH 2/2] xen: xenbus: WARN_ON XS_TRANSACTION_{START,END} misuse
Date: Wed,  7 Feb 2018 23:22:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180207222236.7434-2-simon@invisiblethingslab.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180207222236.7434-1-simon@invisiblethingslab.com>

As the previous commit shows it's quite easy to confuse the transaction
reference counting by ending a transaction twice. So at least try to
detect and report it.
