[PATCH 5.15 756/779] xen-blkback: fix persistent grants negotiation

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: SeongJae Park <sj@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit fc9be616bb8f3ed9cf560308f86904f5c06be205 upstream.

Persistent grants feature can be used only when both backend and the
frontend supports the feature.  The feature was always supported by
'blkback', but commit aac8a70db24b ("xen-blkback: add a parameter for
disabling of persistent grants") has introduced a parameter for
disabling it runtime.

To avoid the parameter be updated while being used by 'blkback', the
commit caches the parameter into 'vbd->feature_gnt_persistent' in
'xen_vbd_create()', and then check if the guest also supports the
feature and finally updates the field in 'connect_ring()'.

However, 'connect_ring()' could be called before 'xen_vbd_create()', so
later execution of 'xen_vbd_create()' can wrongly overwrite 'true' to
'vbd->feature_gnt_persistent'.  As a result, 'blkback' could try to use
'persistent grants' feature even if the guest doesn't support the
feature.

This commit fixes the issue by moving the parameter value caching to
'xen_blkif_alloc()', which allocates the 'blkif'.  Because the struct
embeds 'vbd' object, which will be used by 'connect_ring()' later, this
should be called before 'connect_ring()' and therefore this should be
the right and safe place to do the caching.

Fixes: aac8a70db24b ("xen-blkback: add a parameter for disabling of persistent grants")
