Subject: [PATCH] pktgen: fix module unload for good
Date: Fri, 18 May 2012 11:52:26 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1337334746.3403.114.camel@edumazet-glaptop> (raw)
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>
commit c57b5468406 (pktgen: fix crash at module unload) did a very poor
job with list primitives.
1) list_splice() arguments were in the wrong order
2) list_splice(list, head) has undefined behavior if head is not
initialized.
3) We should use the list_splice_init() variant to clear pktgen_threads
list.
