Subject: [PATCH] xen-blkback: Advertise feature-persistent as user requested
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
The advertisement of the persistent grants feature (writing
'feature-persistent' to xenbus) should mean not the decision for using
the feature but only the availability of the feature. However, commit
aac8a70db24b ("xen-blkback: add a parameter for disabling of persistent
grants") made a field of blkback, which was a place for saving only the
negotiation result, to be used for yet another purpose: caching of the
'feature_persistent' parameter value. As a result, the advertisement,
which should follow only the parameter value, becomes inconsistent.
This commit fixes the misuse of the semantic by making blkback saves the
parameter value in a separate place and advertises the support based on
only the saved value.
Fixes: aac8a70db24b ("xen-blkback: add a parameter for disabling of persistent grants")
