Subject: [PATCH] virtio-pci: do not oops on config change if driver not loaded
Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2009 13:33:53 +1030 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200902031333.54084.rusty@rustcorp.com.au> (raw)
From: Mark McLoughlin <markmc@redhat.com>
The host really shouldn't be notifying us of config changes
before the device status is VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER or
VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK.
However, if we do happen to be interrupted while we're not
attached to a driver, we really shouldn't oops. Prevent
this simply by checking that device->driver is non-NULL
before trying to notify the driver of config changes.
Problem observed by doing a "set_link virtio.0 down" with
QEMU before the net driver had been loaded.
