Bug#767261: xen-netback changes in #767261 break Mini-OS netfront
(Cc-ing debian-kernel, note I am not subscribed to this list, please Cc me on replies) Hi, after updating linux-image-3.16.0-4-amd64 from 3.16.7-2 to the latest 3.16.7-ckt2-1 networking on my rumprun-xen [1] domUs stopped working. Here is an excerpt of the failure during Mini-OS boot: net TX ring size 256 net RX ring size 256 netfront: node=device/vif/0 backend=/local/domain/0/backend/vif/21/0 netfront: MAC b2:11:11:11:11:11 backend not avalable, state=5 creating xenif0 failed: 22 It looks like the changes made in the fix for #767261, as mentioned in the Debian changelog are the likely culprit: [ Ian Campbell ] * [xen] Backport various netback fixes (Closes: #767261). However, I can't find a full final list of which fixes were backported. Given that the last traffic on #767261 was on November 9th, I suspect at least this upstream change from December 18 did NOT make it into the new linux-image package: xen-netback: support frontends without feature-rx-notify again 26c0e102585d5a4d311f5d6eb7f524d288e7f6b7 [2] I can't verify this 100% as I don't know where in the archive I can find the original 3.16.7-2 linux-image to downgrade to/compare the Debian diffs. Should I reopen #767261 or file a new bug for this?

I'll look into it shortly. I can't verify this 100% as I don't know where in the archive I can find the original 3.16.7-2 linux-image to downgrade to/compare the Debian diffs. snapshot.debian.org has all historical versions of all packages. Should I reopen #767261 or file a new bug for this? A new bug would be best please. Ian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

I can't safely test fixes locally at the moment as I don't have remote console access to the dom0 and don't want to break the box while I'm away for NYE. Will be able to test fully next week.

Hi Ian! Thank you so much for building this kernel! I just had this problem with a Windows 2012 R2 domu with GPLPV drivers from http://www.ejbdigital.com.au/1-0-1105/. dom0 has the message: [ 324.272925] vif vif-5-0: 22 feature-rx-notify is mandatory domu obviously has nothing helpful to say ;-) With your newly built kernel, everything seems to be fine.
