From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Patrick Mullaney Subject: [PATCH 0/2] registration fixes for vbus venet macvlan driver Date: Wed, 02 Dec 2009 16:10:19 -0500 Message-ID: <20091202204722.5116.33183.stgit@mimic.site> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, netdev@vger.kernel.org To: alacrityvm-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Return-path: Sender: netdev-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Applies to alacrityvm.git/master:4ac12ced9) These patches fix some netdev registration problems discovered with the venet macvlan driver. The newline patch is trivial. The other patch addresses several problems with registration. Worth noting are the problems registering a netdevice that has previously been unregistered. This doesn't seem work and I was wondering if this is expected behavior in net/core(see patch 2/2 for a description). --- Patrick Mullaney (2): venet: Fixes for shutdown and re-registration of venet devices. venet-macvlan: correctly remove newline from lower device name kernel/vbus/devices/venet/device.c | 11 ++++-- kernel/vbus/devices/venet/macvlan.c | 61 +++++++++++++++++++++++++------ kernel/vbus/devices/venet/venetdevice.h | 7 +++- 3 files changed, 63 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) --
