Subject: [PATCHv1 net] xen-netback: transition to CLOSED when removing a VIF
Date: Mon, 7 Oct 2013 13:55:19 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1381150519-14557-1-git-send-email-david.vrabel@citrix.com> (raw)
From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com>
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).
