[PATCH 4.9 021/130] xen: add error handling for xenbus_printf

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Aug 23 2018 - 04:07:42 EST


4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Zhouyang Jia <jiazhouyang09@xxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 84c029a73327cef571eaa61c7d6e67e8031b52ec ]

When xenbus_printf fails, the lack of error-handling code may
cause unexpected results.

This patch adds error-handling code after calling xenbus_printf.
