    xen: fix setting of max_pfn in shared_info · 4b511d5b
    Juergen Gross authored
    Xen PV guests are specifying the highest used PFN via the max_pfn
    field in shared_info. This value is used by the Xen tools when saving
    or migrating the guest.
    
    Unfortunately this field is misnamed, as in reality it is specifying
    the number of pages (including any memory holes) of the guest, so it
    is the highest used PFN + 1. Renaming isn't possible, as this is a
    public Xen hypervisor interface which needs to be kept stable.
    
    The kernel will set the value correctly initially at boot time, but
    when adding more pages (e.g. due to memory hotplug or ballooning) a
    real PFN number is stored in max_pfn. This is done when expanding the
    p2m array, and the PFN stored there is even possibly wrong, as it
    should be the last possible PFN of the just added P2M frame, and not
    one which led to the P2M expansion.
    
    Fix that by setting shared_info->max_pfn to the last possible PFN + 1.
