Currently the kvm_resize_hpt structure has two fields relevant to the state of an ongoing resize: 'prepare_done', which indicates whether the worker thread has completed or not, and 'error' which indicates whether it was successful or not. Since the success/failure isn't known until completion, this is confusingly redundant. This patch consolidates the information into just the 'error' value: -EBUSY indicates the worked is still in progress, other negative values indicate (completed) failure, 0 indicates successful completion. As a bonus this reduces size of struct kvm_resize_hpt by __alignof__(struct kvm_hpt_info) and saves few bytes of code. While there correct comment in struct kvm_resize_hpt which references a non-existent semaphore (leftover from an early draft). Assert with WARN_ON() in case of HPT allocation thread work runs more than once for resize request or resize_hpt_allocate() returns -EBUSY that is treated specially. Change comparison against zero to make checkpatch.pl happy.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
