Subject: [patch 3/6] qeth: avoid crash in case of layer mismatch for VSWITCH
Date: Fri, 02 Jan 2009 16:01:42 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090102150254.617580000@de.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20090102150139.830998000@de.ibm.com

[-- Attachment #1: 607-qeth-layercrash.diff --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2781 bytes --]

From: Ursula Braun <ursula.braun@de.ibm.com>

For z/VM GuestLAN or VSWITCH devices the transport layer is
configured in z/VM. The layer2 attribute of a participating Linux
device has to match the z/VM definition. In case of a mismatch
Linux currently crashes in qeth recovery due to a reference to the
not yet existing net_device.
Solution: add a check for existence of net_device and add a message
pointing to the mismatch of layer definitions in Linux and z/VM.
