[win-pv-devel] [Code merge request] The RangeSetPop in xenbus code should has its cursor move forward

[Lin Liu]

Dear Sir or Madam,

I got a patch attached to fix a bug in xenbus,


The Bug:
The function RangeSetPop tried to traverse the Ranges in the RangeSet and find the range that fulfill the requested count,
But it has never move the cursor, which will lead to dead loop.

The Fix:
This patch move the Cursor forward to avoid dead loop.


Thanks & Best Regards,

Lin,

Please have a look at https://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Category:Windows_PV_Drivers. We use the Xen model for patch submission; you can avoid using stgit if you want but you should read the section on git format-patch and git send-email.

Cheers,

Paul
