[PATCH] xen-blkback: Switch to closed state after releasing the backing device

From: Valentin Vidic
Date: Wed Aug 29 2018 - 03:18:23 EST


Switching to closed state earlier can cause the block-drbd
script to fail with 'Device is held open by someone':

root: /etc/xen/scripts/block-drbd: remove XENBUS_PATH=backend/vbd/6/51712
kernel: [ 2222.278235] block drbd6: State change failed: Device is held open by someone
kernel: [ 2222.278304] block drbd6: state = { cs:Connected ro:Primary/Secondary ds:UpToDate/UpToDate r----- }
kernel: [ 2222.278340] block drbd6: wanted = { cs:Connected ro:Secondary/Secondary ds:UpToDate/UpToDate r----- }
root: /etc/xen/scripts/block-drbd: Writing backend/vbd/6/51712/hotplug-error /etc/xen/scripts/block-drbd failed; error detected. backend/vbd/6/51712/hotplug-status error to xenstore.
