    xen/evtchn: fix ring resize when binding new events · 27e0e638
    Jan Beulich 提交于
    The copying of ring data was wrong for two cases: For a full ring
    nothing got copied at all (as in that case the canonicalized producer
    and consumer indexes are identical). And in case one or both of the
    canonicalized (after the resize) indexes would point into the second
    half of the buffer, the copied data ended up in the wrong (free) part
    of the new buffer. In both cases uninitialized data would get passed
    back to the caller.
    
    Fix this by simply copying the old ring contents twice: Once to the
    low half of the new buffer, and a second time to the high half.
    
    This addresses the inability to boot a HVM guest with 64 or more
    vCPUs.  This regression was caused by 86200154 (xen/evtchn:
    dynamically grow pending event channel ring).
