Subject: [PATCHv1] xen-netfront: properly destroy queues when removing device
Date: Wed, 27 May 2015 15:46:10 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1432737970-31872-1-git-send-email-david.vrabel@citrix.com> (raw)
xennet_remove() freed the queues before freeing the netdevice which
results in a use-after-free when free_netdev() tries to delete the
napi instances that have already been freed.
Fix this by fully destroy the queues (which includes deleting the napi
instances) before freeing the netdevice.
