From: Jan Beulich Subject: gnttab: fix GNTTABOP_copy continuation handling The XSA-226 fix was flawed - the backwards transformation on rc was done too early, causing a continuation to not get invoked when the need for preemption was determined at the very first iteration of the request. This in particular means that all of the status fields of the individual operations would be left untouched, i.e. set to whatever the caller may or may not have initialized them to. This is part of XSA-318.
