[Xen-devel] [PATCH] linux-2.6.18/blkfront: fix data size for xenbus_gather in connect()

["Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Marek Marczykowski <marmarek@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

barrier variable is int, not long. This overflow caused another variable
override: "err" (in PV code) and "binfo" (in xenlinux code -
drivers/xen/blkfront/blkfront.c). The later caused incorrect device
flags (RO/removable etc).
