[PATCH] xen/sysctl: fix XEN_SYSCTL_getdomaininfolist handling with XSM
In case XSM is active, the handling of XEN_SYSCTL_getdomaininfolist can fail if the last domain scanned isn't allowed to be accessed by the calling domain (i.e. xsm_getdomaininfo(XSM_HOOK, d) is failing). Fix that by just ignoring scanned domains where xsm_getdomaininfo() is returning an error, like it is effectively done when such a situation occurs for a domain not being the last one scanned.

By dropping that intermediate variable it prevents returning an error as the result of the hypercall if xsm_getdomaininfo() for the last domain fails. Note that xsm_getdomaininfo() failing for other domains not the last one don't cause the return value of the hypercall to be an error code, because the variable containing the error gets overwritten by further loops.

Sorry, one last clarification. xsm_default_action() is also what is used when XSM=n. The difference is that for XSM=n, xsm_default_action() is in-lined at the call site whereas with XSM=y and not using FLASK results in a function call xsm_default_action(). v/r, dps
