[Xen-devel] [PATCH v3 3/3] xen: perform XenDevice clean-up in XenBus watch handler

[Paul Durrant <paul.durrant@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Cleaning up offline XenDevice objects directly in
xen_device_backend_changed() is dangerous as xen_device_unrealize() will
modify the watch list that is being walked. Even the QLIST_FOREACH_SAFE()
used in notifier_list_notify() is insufficient as *two* notifiers (for
the frontend and backend watches) are removed, thus potentially rendering
the 'next' pointer unsafe.

The solution is to use the XenBus backend_watch handler to do the clean-up
instead, as it is invoked whilst walking a separate watch list.

This patch therefore adds a new 'inactive_devices' list to XenBus, to which
offline devices are added by xen_device_backend_changed(). The XenBus
backend_watch registration is also changed to not only invoke
xen_bus_enumerate() but also a new xen_bus_cleanup() function, which will
walk 'inactive_devices' and perform the necessary actions.
For safety an extra 'online' check is also added to xen_bus_type_enumerate()
to make sure that no attempt is made to create a new XenDevice object for a
backend that is offline.

NOTE: This patch also includes some cosmetic changes:
      - substitute the local variable name 'backend_state'
        in xen_bus_type_enumerate() with 'state', since there
        is no ambiguity with any other state in that context.
      - change xen_device_state_is_active() to
        xen_device_frontend_is_active() (and pass a XenDevice directly)
        since the state tests contained therein only apply to a frontend.
      - use 'state' rather then 'xendev->backend_state' in
        xen_device_backend_changed() to shorten the code.

v3:
 - s/offline_devices/inactive_devices/g
 - Also add an 'inactive' boolean to XenDevice which is set when the
   device is added to the inactive list so we really can make sure that it
   doesn't happen more than once

v2:
 - Make sure we don't try to add a XenDevice to 'offline_devices' more than
   once
