Revision e94c6101e151b019b8babc518ac2a6ada644a5a1 authored by Maximilian Heyne on 15 July 2022, 22:51:07 UTC, committed by Juergen Gross on 12 August 2022, 10:13:51 UTC
In some use cases[1], the backend is created while the frontend doesn't support the persistent grants feature, but later the frontend can be changed to support the feature and reconnect. In the past, 'blkback' enabled the persistent grants feature since it unconditionally checked if frontend supports the persistent grants feature for every connect ('connect_ring()') and decided whether it should use persistent grans or not. However, commit aac8a70db24b ("xen-blkback: add a parameter for disabling of persistent grants") has mistakenly changed the behavior. It made the frontend feature support check to not be repeated once it shown the 'feature_persistent' as 'false', or the frontend doesn't support persistent grants. This commit changes the behavior of the parameter to make effect for every connect, so that the previous workflow can work again as expected.
