<content type='text'>
xenvif_connect_data() calls module_put() in case of error. This is
wrong as there is no related module_get().

Remove the superfluous module_put().

When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the
return value.  The function can work or not, but the code logic should
never do something different based on this.

At this point nr_frags has been incremented but the frag does not yet
have a page assigned so freeing the skb results in a crash. Reset
nr_frags before freeing the skb to prevent this.

<title>xen-netback: add reference from xenvif to backend_info to facilitate coredump analysis</title>

<id>6dc400af216a79c10cb082f25a7337bcbf532045</id>
<content type='text'>
During coredump analysis, it is not easy to obtain the address of
backend_info in xen-netback.

So far there are two ways to obtain backend_info:

1. Do what xenbus_device_find() does for vmcore to find the xenbus_device
and then derive it from dev_get_drvdata().

2. Extract backend_info from callstack of xenwatch (e.g., netback_remove()
or frontend_changed()).

This patch adds a reference from xenvif to backend_info so that it would be
much more easier to obtain backend_info during coredump analysis.
