+Subject: [PATCH 35/87] x86/shadow: drop (replace) bogus assertions
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+The addition of a call to shadow_blow_tables() from shadow_teardown()
+has resulted in the "no vcpus" related assertion becoming triggerable:
+If domain_create() fails with at least one page successfully allocated
+in the course of shadow_enable(), or if domain_create() succeeds and
+the domain is then killed without ever invoking XEN_DOMCTL_max_vcpus.
+Note that in-tree tests (test-resource and test-tsx) do exactly the
+latter of these two.
+
+The assertion's comment was bogus anyway: Shadow mode has been getting
+enabled before allocation of vCPU-s for quite some time. Convert the
+assertion to a conditional: As long as there are no vCPU-s, there's
+nothing to blow away.
+
+Fixes: e7aa55c0aab3 ("x86/p2m: free the paging memory pool preemptively")
+Reported-by: Andrew Cooper <andrew.cooper3@citrix.com>
+
+A similar assertion/comment pair exists in _shadow_prealloc(); the
+comment is similarly bogus, and the assertion could in principle trigger
+e.g. when shadow_alloc_p2m_page() is called early enough. Replace those
+at the same time by a similar early return, here indicating failure to
+the caller (which will generally lead to the domain being crashed in
+shadow_prealloc()).
