Subject: [PATCH] x86/domctl: Further fix to XEN_DOMCTL_[gs]etvcpuextstate
Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2014 11:21:31 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1402050091-387-1-git-send-email-andrew.cooper3@citrix.com> (raw)
Do not clobber errors from certain codepaths. Clobbering of -EINVAL from
failing "evc->size <= PV_XSAVE_SIZE(_xcr0_accum)" was a pre-existing bug.
However, clobbering -EINVAL/-EFAULT from the get codepath was a bug
unintentionally introduced by 090ca8c1 "x86/domctl: two functional fixes to
XEN_DOMCTL_[gs]etvcpuextstate".

The pre-posted version of 090ca8c1 also tried to fix the evc->size race
condition and already had this "ret = 0" removed. I missed that hunk when
stripping the fixes back, after deciding that the size race condition
shouldn't be fixed.
I should really see about making some hypercall regression tests, in some
copious free time...
