[Xen-devel] [PATCH net 0/2] xen-netback: update memory leak fix to avoid BUG

[Paul Durrant <paul.durrant@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Commit 9a6cdf52b85e "xen-netback: fix memory leaks on XenBus disconnect"
added missing code to fix a memory leak by calling vfree() in the
appropriate place.
Unfortunately subsequent commit f16f1df65f1c "xen-netback: protect
resource cleaning on XenBus disconnect" then wrapped this call to vfree()
in a spin lock, leading to a BUG due to incorrect context.

Patch #1 makes the existing code more readable
Patch #2 fixes the problem

Paul Durrant (2):
  xen-netback: keep a local pointer for vif in backend_disconnect()
  xen-netback: don't vfree() queues under spinlock
