SubjectXen + linux 6.1.0-rc8, network to guest VM not working after commit ad7f402ae4f466647c3a669b8a6f3e5d4271c84a fixing XSA-423
Hi Ross / Juergen,

I just updated my linux kernel to the latest of Linus his tree which included commit ad7f402ae4f466647c3a669b8a6f3e5d4271c84a fixing XSA-423.

Unfortunately when using this kernel I can't SSH anymore into the Xen guest I start, but I don't see any apparent failures either.
A straight revert of the commit ad7f402ae4f466647c3a669b8a6f3e5d4271c84a makes networking function normally again.

I have added some of the logging below, perhaps it at gives some idea off the state around the Xen network front and backend.

Any ideas or a test patch that I could run to shed some more light on what is going on ?

Some of the logging from dom0 dmesg:
