From 42c46e6ba5461fcab289bf4a1b7160f94c10aa28 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefano Stabellini Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2012 18:30:44 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] xen/xenbus: ignore console/0 Unfortunately xend creates a bogus console/0 frotend/backend entry pair on xenstore that console backends cannot properly cope with. Any guest behavior that is not completely ignoring console/0 is going to either cause problems with xenconsoled or qemu. Returning 0 or -ENODEV from xencons_probe is not enough because it is going to cause the frontend state to become 4 or 6 respectively. The best possible thing we can do here is just ignore the entry from xenbus_probe_frontend.
