[PATCH] xen: fix broken tainted value in mark_page_free
Posted by Penny Zheng 2 years, 7 months ago
Commit 540a637c3410780b519fc055f432afe271f642f8 defines a new
helper mark_page_free to extract common codes, but it broke the
local variable "tainted", revealed by Coverity ID 1491872.

This patch let mark_page_free() return boolean value of variable
"tainted" and rename local variable "tainted" to "pg_tainted"
to tell the difference from the global variable of the same name.

Instead of mentioning the ID here, please ...

add a tag-like instance here, as we do elsewhere:

... control the call to this function: "offline" or "offlined"
would seem quite a bit more to the point, getting us further away
from the global meaning of "tainted".

Also please follow patch submission rules: To the list, with (all)
