From 414c9fd07d29ebaf810726fb9f2c19fc95d521f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Maximilian Heyne Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2022 22:51:07 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] xen-blkback: Apply 'feature_persistent' parameter when connect commit d626e33fd447dc9615107d6c3a6316d6ac1f700c upstream. In some use cases[1], the backend is created while the frontend doesn't support the persistent grants feature, but later the frontend can be changed to support the feature and reconnect. In the past, 'blkback' enabled the persistent grants feature since it unconditionally checked if frontend supports the persistent grants feature for every connect ('connect_ring()') and decided whether it should use persistent grans or not. However, commit 3d14b04b1cc9 ("xen-blkback: add a parameter for disabling of persistent grants") has mistakenly changed the behavior. It made the frontend feature support check to not be repeated once it shown the 'feature_persistent' as 'false', or the frontend doesn't support persistent grants. This commit changes the behavior of the parameter to make effect for every connect, so that the previous workflow can work again as expected.
