[PATCH 4.6 29/96] xenbus: dont BUG() on user mode induced condition

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Date: 2016-08-08 19:17:42
Also in: lkml

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

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

From: Jan Beulich <redacted>

commit 0beef634b86a1350c31da5fcc2992f0d7c8a622b upstream.

Inability to locate a user mode specified transaction ID should not
lead to a kernel crash. For other than XS_TRANSACTION_START also
don't issue anything to xenbus if the specified ID doesn't match that
of any active transaction.
