[PATCH 4.9 16/95] xen-netfront: Fix hang on device removal

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jason Andryuk <jandryuk@xxxxxxxxx>

commit c2d2e6738a209f0f9dffa2dc8e7292fc45360d61 upstream.

A toolstack may delete the vif frontend and backend xenstore entries
while xen-netfront is in the removal code path.  In that case, the
checks for xenbus_read_driver_state would return XenbusStateUnknown, and
xennet_remove would hang indefinitely.  This hang prevents system
shutdown.

xennet_remove must be able to handle XenbusStateUnknown, and
netback_changed must also wake up the wake_queue for that state as well.

Fixes: 5b5971df3bc2 ("xen-netfront: remove warning when unloading module")
