Commit
ae20ccf removed the hypercall continuation logic from the end
of do_hvm_op(), claiming:
"This patch removes the need for handling HVMOP restarts, so that
infrastructure is removed."
That turns out to be false. The removal of HVMOP_set_mem_type removed
the need to store a start iteration value in the hypercall
continuation, but a grep through hvm.c for ERESTART turns up at least
two places where do_hvm_op() may still need a hypercall continuation:
* HVMOP_set_hvm_param can return -ERESTART when setting
HVM_PARAM_IDENT_PT in the event that it fails to acquire the domctl
lock
* HVMOP_flush_tlbs can return -ERESTART if several vcpus call it at
the same time
In both cases, a simple restart (with no stored iteration information)
is necessary.
Add a check for -ERESTART again, along with a comment at the top of
the function regarding the lack of decoding any information from the
op value.
