Subject: [PATCH v2 1/4] 9p/trans_xen: make cleanup idempotent after dataring alloc errors

From: Eric-Terminal <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2026 11:38:37 +0800

From: Yufan Chen <[email-masked]>

xen_9pfs_front_alloc_dataring() tears down resources on failure but
leaves ring fields stale. If xen_9pfs_front_init() later jumps to the
common error path, xen_9pfs_front_free() may touch the same resources
again, causing duplicate/invalid gnttab_end_foreign_access() calls and
potentially dereferencing a freed intf pointer.

Initialize dataring sentinels before allocation, gate teardown on those
sentinels, and clear ref/intf/data/irq immediately after each release.

This keeps cleanup idempotent for partially initialized rings and
prevents repeated teardown during init failure handling.
