[PATCH] virtio-pci: do not oops on config change if driver not loaded

From: Mark McLoughlin
Date: Thu Jan 29 2009 - 10:32:33 EST


The host really shouldn't be notifying us of config changes
before the device status is VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER or
VIRTIO_CONFIG_S_DRIVER_OK.

However, if we do happen to be interrupted while we're not
attached to a driver, we really shouldn't oops. Prevent
this simply by checking that device->driver is non-NULL
before trying to notify the driver of config changes.

Problem observed by doing a "set_link virtio.0 down" with
QEMU before the net driver had been loaded.
