Subject: [PATCH net-next] macvlan: fix failure during registration v2
Date: Wed, 20 Apr 2016 14:38:21 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1461188301-4466-1-git-send-email-fruggeri@arista.com> (raw)
If macvlan_common_newlink fails in register_netdevice after macvlan_init
then it decrements port->count twice, first in macvlan_uninit (from
register_netdevice or rollback_registered) and then again in
macvlan_common_newlink.
A similar problem may exist in the ipvlan driver.
This patch consolidates modifications to port->count into macvlan_init
and macvlan_uninit (thanks to Eric Biederman for suggesting this approach).
In macvtap_device_event it also avoids cleaning up in NETDEV_UNREGISTER
if NETDEV_REGISTER had previously failed.
