linux-pci got dropped from the cc list, which makes it harder for me
to track this in patchwork.

It is OK. We had an discussion about making the xenbus_switch_state an
void. The reason being that if the state change fails we call xenbus_switch_fatal
(which does not return anything) - which then sets the state to XenbusStateClosing.

But for some drivers it makes sense to know about this failure so that
they can deallocate their resources. So ignoring ret is OK if the driver
is OK handling its deallocation in a different way.

Applied to pci/virtualization for v3.19, with Konrad's ack and my changelog
rework.  Thanks!

The changelog is somewhat confusing because it talks about the patch hunks
in reverse order (the pcifront_scan_root() change is first in the patch,
but the changelog mentions pcifront_rescan_root() first).  I *think* this
means:

  When pcifront_try_connect() finds no PCI roots, it falls back to calling
  pcifront_scan_root() for 0000:00.  If that fails, it used to switch to
  XenbusStateConnected and return success (because xenbus_switch_state()
  currently always succeeds).

  If pcifront_scan_root() fails, leave the XenbusState unchanged and
  return an error code.

  Similarly, pcifront_attach_devices() falls back to calling
  pcifront_rescan_root() for 0000:00.  If that fails, it used to 
  switch to XenbusStateConnected and return an error code.

  If pcifront_rescan_root() fails, leave the XenbusState unchanged and
  return the error code.

The "num_roots" part doesn't seem relevant to me.

Konrad, if you want to take this, feel free.  Otherwise, if you ack it and
you think my changelog understanding makes sense, I can pick it up.

It does seem odd that pcifront_attach_devices() ignores the
xenbus_switch_state() return value while pcifront_try_connect() does not.
But many other callers also ignore the return value, so maybe that's OK.

[PATCH next] xen: pcifront: Process failure for pcifront_(re)scan_root()

[Chen Gang]

When pcifront_rescan_root() or pcifront_scan_root() fails, need return
error code, neither set XenbusStateConnected state, just like the other
areas have done.

For pcifront_rescan_root(), it will return error code ("num_roots = 0;",
skip xenbus_switch_state return value).

For pcifront_scan_root(), it will return 0 ("num_roots = 0;", set 0 by
the return value of xenbus_switch_state, which always return 0, at
present).
