Subject: [PATCH net] dummy: Add ndo_uninit().
Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2012 08:26:01 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120416082601.ac00a86d.shimoda.hiroaki@gmail.com> (raw)
In register_netdevice(), when ndo_init() is successful and later
some error occurred, ndo_uninit() will be called.
So dummy deivce is desirable to implement ndo_uninit() method
to free percpu stats for this case.
And, ndo_uninit() is also called along with dev->destructor() when
device is unregistered, so in order to prevent dev->dstats from
being freed twice, dev->destructor is modified to free_netdev().
