[Xen-devel] [PATCH 2/2] xen: dont try setting max grants multiple times

[Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>]

Trying to call xengnttab_set_max_grants() with the same file handle
might fail on some kernels, as this operation is allowed only once.

This is a problem for the qdisk backend as blk_connect() can be
called multiple times for a domain, e.g. in case grub-xen is being
used to boot it.

So instead of letting the generic backend code open the gnttab device
do it in blk_connect() and close it again in blk_disconnect.
