    [PATCH] ibmveth: kdump interrupt fix · 4347ef15
    Santiago Leon authored
    This patch fixes a race that panics the kernel when opening the
    device after a kdump.  Without this patch there is a window where the
    hypervisor can send an interrupt before all the structures for the
    kdump ibmveth module are ready (because the hypervisor is not aware
    that the partition crashed and that the virtual driver is reloading).
    We close this window by disabling the interrupts before registering
    the adapter to the hypervisor.
    
    This patch depends on the "ibmveth: Harden driver initilisation" patch.
