Subject: [PATCH V2] backport: handle change in netdevice destructor usage
Date: Wed, 21 Jun 2017 21:58:19 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1498078699-27809-1-git-send-email-arend.vanspriel@broadcom.com> (raw)

This patch deals with changes made in struct net_device by commit
cf124db566e6 ("net: Fix inconsistent teardown and release of private
netdev state.").

Signed-off-by: Arend van Spriel <arend.vanspriel@broadcom.com>

Hi Johannes,

It took a while for me to be happy with this version. More so because I
found that brcmfmac has a double-free bug if register_netdevice() fails
so I needed to solve that puzzle. Below is the changelog.

Regards,
Arend

 V2:
  - changed netdev_set_priv_destructor() to macro.
  - revised semantic patch covering drivers only needing free_netdev().
  - used some tricks suggested by Julia in semantic patch.
  - added more version checks against 4.13.
