[ Upstream commit ba58f873cdeec30b6da48e28dd5782c5a3e1371b ]
When finishing the final iteration of dirty_log_test testcase, set
host_quit _before_ the final "continue" so that the vCPU worker doesn't
run an extra iteration, and delete the hack-a-fix of an extra "continue"
from the dirty ring testcase. This fixes a bug where the extra post to
sem_vcpu_cont may not be consumed, which results in failures in subsequent
runs of the testcases. The bug likely was missed during development as
x86 supports only a single "guest mode", i.e. there aren't any subsequent
testcases after the dirty ring test, because for_each_guest_mode() only
runs a single iteration.
For the regular dirty log testcases, letting the vCPU run one extra
iteration is a non-issue as the vCPU worker waits on sem_vcpu_cont if and
only if the worker is explicitly told to stop (vcpu_sync_stop_requested).
But for the dirty ring test, which needs to periodically stop the vCPU to
reap the dirty ring, letting the vCPU resume the guest _after_ the last
iteration means the vCPU will get stuck without an extra "continue".
However, blindly firing off an post to sem_vcpu_cont isn't guaranteed to
be consumed, e.g. if the vCPU worker sees host_quit==true before resuming
the guest. This results in a dangling sem_vcpu_cont, which leads to
subsequent iterations getting out of sync, as the vCPU worker will
continue on before the main task is ready for it to resume the guest,
leading to a variety of asserts, e.g.

Didn't continue vcpu even without ring full
Alternatively, the test could simply reset the semaphores before each
testcase, but papering over hacks with more hacks usually ends in tears.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
