[PATCH 4.9 10/62] xen: dont continue xenstore initialization in case of errors

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 08f6c2b09ebd4b326dbe96d13f94fee8f9814c78 upstream.

In case of errors in xenbus_init (e.g. missing xen_store_gfn parameter),
we goto out_error but we forget to reset xen_store_domain_type to
XS_UNKNOWN. As a consequence xenbus_probe_initcall and other initcalls
will still try to initialize xenstore resulting into a crash at boot.
