SubjectRe: [PATCH] xen-netfront: enable device after manual module load
From
From: Eduardo Otubo <otubo@redhat.com>
Date: Fri, 5 Jan 2018 09:42:16 +0100

> When loading the module after unloading it, the network interface would

>
> The guest would face errors like:
>
> [root@guest ~]# ethtool -i eth0
> Cannot get driver information: No such device
>
> [root@guest ~]# ifconfig eth0
> eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
>
> This patch initializes the state of the netfront device whenever it is
> loaded manually, this state would communicate the netback to create its
> device and establish the connection between them.
