[Xen-devel] [PATCH] Add support for netconsole driver used on bridge device with, VIF attached



When starting a VM which has virtual interface attached to the same bridge (i.e vif = [type=netfront,bridge=xenbr0'] in vm.cfg) which is used for netconsole the following message appears (after about 60 seconds) and VM creation operation fails. Error: Device 0 (vif) could not be connected. Hotplug scripts not working.

Note:
When trying to do the opposite, i.e. first create VM and then run
netconsole we got the error #524 - vif2.0 doesn't support polling,
aborting.

The following patch (to latest kernel) fix this bug by adding implementation to ndo_poll_controller.
