[Xen-devel][PATCH] Input: xen-kbdfront - signal the backend that we disconnect

From: Oleksandr Andrushchenko
Date: Fri Mar 15 2019 - 05:24:00 EST


From: Oleksandr Andrushchenko <oleksandr_andrushchenko@xxxxxxxx>

While disconnecting from the backend we clean up shared resources
(event channel, ring buffer), but never let the backend know about
that. This may lead to inconsistent backend state and/or shared
resources use.
Fix this by explicitly letting the backend know that frontend has
destroyed shared resources by changing its Xen bus state accordingly.
