Subject: [PATCH v1 net-next 07/14] net: Call unregister_netdevice_many() per netns.
Date: Wed, 1 Jul 2026 21:41:45 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701214334.266991-8-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260701214334.266991-1-kuniyu@google.com>
For per-netns device unregistration, the list passed to
unregister_netdevice_many() must contain devices from a single
netns only (once all callers are converted).
Let's move collected devices in the following functions to
net->dev_unreg_head and let __rtnl_net_unlock() pass them to
unregister_netdevice_many().
* default_device_exit_batch()
* ops_exit_rtnl_list()
* __rtnl_kill_links()
This allows incremental conversion of each driver to support
per-netns device unregistration without affecting the normal
kernel where CONFIG_DEBUG_NET_SMALL_RTNL is disabled.
Note that this change unbatches synchronize_rcu() etc in
unregister_netdevice_many(), but we can later split it into
multiple stages to batch them again.
