During coredump analysis, it is not easy to obtain the address of backend_info in xen-netback. So far there are two ways to obtain backend_info: 1. Do what xenbus_device_find() does for vmcore to find the xenbus_device and then derive it from dev_get_drvdata(). 2. Extract backend_info from callstack of xenwatch (e.g., netback_remove() or frontend_changed()). This patch adds a reference from xenvif to backend_info so that it would be much more easier to obtain backend_info during coredump analysis.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
