Subject: [PATCH] gre: fix netns vs proto registration ordering
Date: Tue, 16 Feb 2010 19:57:44 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100216175744.GA4685@x200> (raw)

GRE protocol receive hook can be called right after protocol addition is done.
If netns stuff is not yet initialized, we're going to oops in
net_generic().

This is remotely oopsable if ip_gre is compiled as module and packet
comes at unfortunate moment of module loading.
