On 02/04/2014 06:01 PM, Andrew Cooper wrote: 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. Yes, these are all pretty clear bug fixes.
