xen: Workaround Windows PV drivers removing control/shutdown mode #21

Closed RA-Kooi closed 3 months ago

RA-Kooi commented 3 months ago

win-pv-drivers 8.x remove control/shutdown node as an acknowledgement, instead of just clearing the content. This means the subsequent write will create it anew, with default permissions (dom0 write, guest read). Such permissions won't allow the guest to acknowledge subsequent requests.

Workaround the issue by explicitly setting permissions after the write.
