4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jan Beulich <JBeulich@xxxxxxxx> commit 0beef634b86a1350c31da5fcc2992f0d7c8a622b upstream. Inability to locate a user mode specified transaction ID should not lead to a kernel crash. For other than XS_TRANSACTION_START also don't issue anything to xenbus if the specified ID doesn't match that of any active transaction.
