Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2009 15:32:16 +0000 From: Mark McLoughlin <markmc@...hat.com> To: Rusty Russell <rusty@...tcorp.com.au> Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, qemu-devel@...gnu.org, Mark McLoughlin <markmc@...hat.com> Subject: [PATCH] virtio-pci: do not oops on config change if driver not loaded The host really shouldn't be notifying us of config changes before the device status is VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER or VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK. However, if we do happen to be interrupted while we're not attached to a driver, we really shouldn't oops. Prevent this simply by checking that device->driver is non-NULL before trying to notify the driver of config changes. Problem observed by doing a "set_link virtio.0 down" with QEMU before the net driver had been loaded.
