Subject: [PATCH 3.10 10/24] xen-netback: transition to CLOSED when removing a VIF
Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2013 10:42:20 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131118184222.766362590@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20131118184222.017393843@linuxfoundation.org>

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

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

From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com>

[ Upstream commit dc62ccaccfb139d9b04bbc5a2688a4402adbfab3 ]

If a guest is destroyed without transitioning its frontend to CLOSED,
the domain becomes a zombie as netback was not grant unmapping the
shared rings.

When removing a VIF, transition the backend to CLOSED so the VIF is
disconnected if necessary (which will unmap the shared rings etc).

This fixes a regression introduced by
279f438e36c0a70b23b86d2090aeec50155034a9 (xen-netback: Don't destroy
the netdev until the vif is shut down).
