v2: * Replace busy wait with wait_event()/wake_up_all() * Cannot garantee that at the time xennet_remove is called, the xen_netback state will not be XenbusStateClosed, so added a condition for that * There's a small chance for the xen_netback state is XenbusStateUnknown by the time the xen_netfront switches to Closed, so added a condition for that. When unloading module xen_netfront from guest, dmesg would output warning messages like below: [ 105.236836] xen:grant_table: WARNING: g.e. 0x903 still in use! [ 105.236839] deferring g.e. 0x903 (pfn 0x35805) This problem relies on netfront and netback being out of sync. By the time netfront revokes the g.e.'s netback didn't have enough time to free all of them, hence displaying the warnings on dmesg. The trick here is to make netfront to wait until netback frees all the g.e.'s and only then continue to cleanup for the module removal, and this is done by manipulating both device states.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
