linux-toradex.git/drivers/net/xen-netback/interface.c, branch v3.10.32 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules xen-netback: fix refcnt unbalance for 3.10 2013-12-04T18:57:36+00:00 Wei Liu wei.liu2@citrix.com 2013-12-02T17:49:54+00:00 88a810def754d5516252b9a8b9efc34d875d399f With the introduction of "xen-netback: Don't destroy the netdev until the vif is shut down" (upstream commit id 279f438e36), vif disconnect and free are separated. However in the backported version reference counting code was not correctly modified, and the reset of vif->irq was lost. If frontend goes through vif life cycle more than once the reference counting is skewed. This patch adds back the missing vif->irq reset line. It also moves several lines of the reference counting code to vif_free, so the moved code corresponds to the counterpart in vif_alloc, thus the reference counting is balanced.

With the introduction of "xen-netback: Don't destroy the netdev until
the vif is shut down" (upstream commit id 279f438e36), vif disconnect
and free are separated. However in the backported version reference
counting code was not correctly modified, and the reset of vif->irq
was lost. If frontend goes through vif life cycle more than once the
reference counting is skewed.

This patch adds back the missing vif->irq reset line. It also moves
several lines of the reference counting code to vif_free, so the moved
code corresponds to the counterpart in vif_alloc, thus the reference
counting is balanced.

For a 32bit Dom0, if netfront sends packets at a very low rate, the time between subsequent calls to tx_credit_exceeded() may exceed MAX_ULONG/2 and the test for timer_after_eq() will be incorrect. Credit will not be replenished and the guest may become unable to send packets (e.g., if prior to the long gap, all credit was exhausted).
