[Xen-devel] [PATCH for-xen-4.5] libxl: Allow copying smaller bitmap into a larger one

[Boris Ostrovsky]

When parsing bitmap objects JSON parser will create libxl_bitmap
map of the smallest size needed.

This can cause problems when saved image file specifies CPU affinity.
For example, if 'vcpu_hard_affinity' in the saved image has only the
first CPU specified, just a single byte will be allocated and
libxl_bitmap->size will be set to 1.

This will result in assertion in libxl_set_vcpuaffinity()->libxl_bitmap_copy()
since the destination bitmap is created for maximum number of CPUs.

We could allocate that bitmap of the same size as the source, however,
it is later passed to xc_vcpu_setaffinity() which expects it to be
sized to the max number of CPUs

Instead, we should allow copying the (smaller) bitmap read by the parser
and keep the rest of bytes in the destination map unmodified (zero in
this case)
