commit 8645e56a4ad6dcbf504872db7f14a2f67db88ef2 upstream.

xen_maybe_preempt_hcall() is called from the exception entry point
xen_do_hypervisor_callback with interrupts disabled.

_cond_resched() evades the might_sleep() check in cond_resched() which
would have caught that and schedule_debug() unfortunately lacks a check
for irqs_disabled().

Enable interrupts around the call and use cond_resched() to catch future
issues.

commit eda4eabf86fd6806eaabc23fb90dd056fdac037b upstream.

Commit 3aa6c19d2f38be ("xen/balloon: Support xend-based toolstack")
tried to fix a regression with running on rather ancient Xen versions.
Unfortunately the fix was based on the assumption that xend would
just use another Xenstore node, but in reality only some downstream
versions of xend are doing that. The upstream xend does not write
that Xenstore node at all, so the problem must be fixed in another
way.

The easiest way to achieve that is to fall back to the behavior
before commit 96edd61dcf4436 ("xen/balloon: don't online new memory
initially") in case the static memory maximum can't be read.

This is achieved by setting static_max to the current number of
memory pages known by the system resulting in target_diff becoming
zero.

gnttab_request_version() always sets the gnttab_interface variable
and the assertions to check for empty gnttab_interface is unnecessary.
The patch eliminates multiple such assertions.

If a driver probe() fails then leave the xenstore state alone. There is no
reason to modify it as the failure may be due to transient resource
allocation issues and hence a subsequent probe() may succeed.

If the driver supports re-binding then only force state to closed during
remove() only in the case when the toolstack may need to clean up. This can
be detected by checking whether the state in xenstore has been set to
closing prior to device removal.

NOTE: Re-bind support is indicated by new boolean in struct xenbus_driver,
      which defaults to false. Subsequent patches will add support to
      some backend drivers.

...and make it static

xenbus_dev_shutdown() is seemingly intended to cause clean shutdown of PV
frontends when a guest is rebooted. Indeed the function waits for a
conpletion which is only set by a call to xenbus_frontend_closed().

This patch removes the shutdown() method from backends and moves
xenbus_dev_shutdown() from xenbus_probe.c into xenbus_probe_frontend.c,
renaming it appropriately and making it static.

NOTE: In the case where the backend is running in a driver domain, the
      toolstack should have already terminated any frontends that may be
      using it (since Xen does not support re-startable PV driver domains)
      so xenbus_dev_shutdown() should never be called.
