[Xen-users] XEN 3.0.1: domUs become zombies after shutdown with "unregister_netdevice: waiting for vifX.0 to become free. Usage count = n"

[Anton Khalikov <anton@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello guys

I have the following problem with xen 3.0.1 compiled from sources on 
Debian Sarge, kernel 2.6.12.6 which can be easily reproduced at least on 
my installation:
after I log in to domU console or via ssh and run "shutdown" I get 
deadlocked network interface with error message:
unregister_netdevice: waiting for vifX.0 to become free. Usage count = n

After this happen I can't even reboot my dom0 via ssh because reboot 
process hangs (waits until interface is released but it never happens).
I googled about this error and found some references to bridged 
networking problem (yes I use bridged networking on my pc) but 
unfortunatelly I coudldn't understand how to solve this problem.
Please could anyone help me to get out of it ?


About my config: I have both xen web server and xen relocation server 
disabled in config. I have a network with a few ip addresses and I want 
to assign address ie 192.168.0.1 to dom0 and then 192.168.0.x to my 
domUs so I think it can be only done using bridged networking.
