Subject: [PATCH v2] xen: don't continue xenstore initialization in case of errors
Date: Mon, 15 Nov 2021 14:27:19 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211115222719.2558207-1-sstabellini@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@xilinx.com>

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.

Changes in v2:
- use return 0 for the success case
- remove err initializer as it is not useful any longer
