Subject: [Patch 2/2] tools/libxc: Prevent erroneous success from xc_domain_restore
Date: Mon, 27 Jan 2014 16:25:25 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1390839925-28088-3-git-send-email-andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1390839925-28088-1-git-send-email-andrew.cooper3@citrix.com>

The variable 'rc' is set to 1 at the top of xc_domain_restore, and for the
most part is left alone until success, at which point it is set to 0.

There is a separate 'frc' which for the most part is used to check function
calls, keeping errors separate from 'rc'.

For a toolstack which sets callbacks->toolstack_restore(), and the function
returns 0, any subsequent error will end up with code flow going to "out;",
resulting in the migration being declared a success.

For consistency, update the callsites of xc_dom_gnttab{,_hvm}_seed() to use
'frc', even though their use of 'rc' is currently safe.

Regarding 4.4: If the two "for consistency" changes to
xc_dom_gnttab{,_hvm}_seed() are considered too risky, they can be dropped
without affecting the bugfix nature of the patch, but I would argue that
leaving some examples of "rc = function_call()" leaves a bad precident which
is likely to lead to similar bugs in the future.
