[PATCH 1/2] xen/scsiback: correct frontend counting

[Juergen Gross]

When adding a new frontend to xen-scsiback don't decrement the number
of active frontends in case of no error. Not doing so results in a
failure when trying to remove the xen-pvscsi nexus even if no domain
is using it.

[PATCH 2/2] xen/scsiback: avoid warnings when adding multiple LUNs to a domain

[Juergen Gross]

When adding more than one LUN to a frontend a warning for a failed
assignment is issued in dom0 for each already existing LUN. Avoid this
warning.

Aren't you just factoring out the check? The warning is still printed 
for each scsiback_add_translation_entry() invocation, no?

Might be better to return -ENOENT instead of 1 above and -EEXISTS if 
entry!=NULL, given that this returns an int.

Nevermind reference to 1, it's removed. But returning an error code 
instead of a bool is still better I think.

I don't call scsiback_add_translation_entry() in the critical case.

I just didn't want to change more than necessary. In case it is
okay to do some cleanup as well I'd rather change the return type
to "bool".

Which is scsiback_do_add_lun()? If yes then perhaps you could mention it 
in the commit message since there are few changes that this patch 
provides and it's not clear which is the one that prevents the warning.

I don't think using error code will require changing anything except the 
last line above (which is already a change anyway)

But using a bool is OK too.

And returning -ENOENT or 0 will be even better, I guess.
