Subject: [PATCH 3.2 31/87] x86/xen: don't reset vcpu_info on a cancelled
 suspend

3.2.77-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: "Ouyang Zhaowei (Charles)" <ouyangzhaowei@...wei.com>

commit 6a1f513776b78c994045287073e55bae44ed9f8c upstream.

On a cancelled suspend the vcpu_info location does not change (it's
still in the per-cpu area registered by xen_vcpu_setup()).  So do not
call xen_hvm_init_shared_info() which would make the kernel think its
back in the shared info.  With the wrong vcpu_info, events cannot be
received and the domain will hang after a cancelled suspend.
