[Xen-devel] [PATCH 1/2] xen-bus: Fix backend state transition on device reset

[Anthony PERARD <anthony.perard@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When a frontend want to reset its state and the backend one, it start
with setting "Closing", then wait for the backend (QEMU) to do the same.

But when QEMU is setting "Closing" to its state, it trigger an event
(xenstore watch) that re-execute xen_device_backend_changed() and set
the backend state to "Closed". QEMU should wait for the frontend to
set "Closed" before doing the same.

Before setting "Closed" to the backend_state, we are also going to
check if the frontend was responsible for the transition to "Closing".
