Subject: [PATCH] xen-netback: fix a BUG() during initialization
Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2015 14:21:51 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1434716511-25657-1-git-send-email-imrep.amz@gmail.com> (raw)

From: "Palik, Imre" <imrep@amazon.de>

Commit edafc132baac ("xen-netback: making the bandwidth limiter runtime settable")
introduced the capability to change the bandwidth rate limit at runtime.
But it also introduced a possible crashing bug.

If netback receives two XenbusStateConnected without getting the
hotplug-status watch firing in between, then it will try to register the
watches for the rate limiter again.  But this triggers a BUG() in the watch
registration code.

The fix modifies connect() to remove the possibly existing packet-rate
watches before trying to install those watches.  This behaviour is in line
with how connect() deals with the hotplug-status watch.
