Subject: [PATCH 1/2] netns: add register_pernet_gen_subsys/unregister_pernet_gen_subsys
Date: Sun, 26 Oct 2008 02:43:24 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081025224323.GA18858@x200.localdomain> (raw)

netns ops which are registered with register_pernet_gen_device() are
shutdown strictly before those which are registered with
register_pernet_subsys(). Sometimes this leads to opposite (read: buggy)
shutdown ordering between two modules.

Add register_pernet_gen_subsys()/unregister_pernet_gen_subsys() for modules
which aren't elite enough for entry in struct net, and which can't use
register_pernet_gen_device(). PPTP conntracking module is such one.
