x86/mm: Have alloc_l[23]_table clear partial_flags when preempting
In order to allow recursive pagetable promotions and demotions to be interrupted, Xen must keep track of the state of the sub-pages promoted or demoted. This is stored in two elements in the page struct: nr_entries_validated and partial_flags. The rule is that entries [0, nr_entries_validated) should always be validated and hold a general reference count. If partial_flags is zero, then [nr_entries_validated] is not validated and no reference count is held. If PTF_partial_set is set, then [nr_entries_validated] is partially validated. At the moment, a distinction is made between promotion and demotion with regard to whether the entry itself "holds" a general reference count: when entry promotion is interrupted (i.e., returns -ERESTART), the entry is not considered to hold a reference; when entry demotion is interrupted, the entry is still considered to hold a general reference. PTF_partial_general_ref is used to distinguish between these cases. If clear, it's a partial promotion => no general reference count held by the entry; if set, it's partial demotion, so a general reference count held. Because promotions and demotions can be interleaved, this value is passed to get_page_and_type_from_mfn and put_page_from_l*e, to be able to properly handle reference counts. Unfortunately, when alloc_l[23]_table check hypercall_preempt_check() and return -ERESTART, they set nr_entries_validated, but don't clear partial_flags. If we were picking up from a previously-interrupted promotion, that means that PTF_partial_set would be set even though [nr_entries_validated] was not partially validated. This means that if the page in this state were de-validated, put_page_type() would erroneously be called on that entry. Perhaps worse, if we were racing with a de-validation, then we might leave both PTF_partial_set and PTF_partial_general_ref; and when de-validation picked up again, both the type and the general ref would be erroneously dropped from [nr_entries_validated]. In a sense, the real issue here is code duplication. Rather than duplicate the interruption code, set rc to -EINTR and fall through to the code which already handles that case correctly. Given the logic at this point, it should be impossible for partial_flags to be non-zero; add an ASSERT() to catch any changes. This is part of XSA-299.
