perhaps work "... between the resume and reconnecting to the backend."
into that sentence somewhere.
Clear refresh flag of xenfb before disconnect backend would fix this issue.
s/refresh/update_wanted/
Also below patch will fixed mem leak when connect to xenfb backend failed.

Please review and comment.

Looks good. But please separate the mem leak fix into its own patch, it
has nothing to do with this crash (hiding a 1 line fix for a crash in
amongst 30 lines of something else does nobody any favours, as the
length of this thread testifies).

You can add
Acked-by: Ian Campbell <redacted>
to the xenfb_disconnect_backend change once you've split it out.

I have some further comments on the xenfb_connect_backend change below.

If anything this should be xenbus_dev_BLAH(). However all the places
which "goto unbind_irq" already include a xenbus_dev_fatal with more
specific context information and so does the case which falls through
from error_xenbus so I think this new message is redundant.
+	unbind_from_irqhandler(irq, info);
+	xenbus_free_evtchn(dev, evtchn);
unbind_from_irqhandler will also close the event channel for you so the
call to xenbus_free_evtchn is not necessary here.

Thanks,
Ian.
