Subject: [PATCH] proper comment for loopback initialization order
Date: Thu, 27 Sep 2007 16:25:27 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070927122527.GA10972@iris.sw.ru> (raw)
Loopback device is special. It should be initialized at the very
beginning. Initialization order has been changed by
Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> and this change is non-obvious
and important enough to add proper comment.
