Pkg xen devel - May 2006 - Bug#366216: vif-bridge: offlining the interface fails because interface already offline

Package: xen-utils-3.0
Version: 3.0.2+hg9656-1
Severity: normal

My setup is a basic one. No changes to the /etc/xen/* files.
Network in a domU works perfectly fine.
But, after shutdowning a domU, I can see the following lines in
/var/log/debug:
May  6 10:31:45 vaio logger: /etc/xen/scripts/vif-bridge: offline
XENBUS_PATH=backend/vif/18/0
May  6 10:31:46 vaio logger: /etc/xen/scripts/vif-bridge: brctl delif xenbr0
vif18.0 failed
May  6 10:31:46 vaio logger: /etc/xen/scripts/vif-bridge: ifconfig vif18.0 down
failed
May  6 10:31:46 vaio logger: /etc/xen/scripts/vif-bridge: Successful vif-bridge
offline for vif18.0, bridge xenbr0.

As you can see, brctl and ifconfig both fail.

After instrumenting the vif-bridge script, I discovered the vifx.0
interface is already offline when the script is called.

It says "Successful".. so is this really a problem/bug ?
Furthermore, the script does:

    offline)
        do_without_error brctl delif "$bridge" "$vif"
        do_without_error ifconfig "$vif" down
        ;;

So, I guess this is only a warning.

Cheers,
