Subject: [PATCH v2 net-next 02/14] rtnetlink: Call unregister_netdevice_many() only once in rtnl_link_unregister().
Date: Fri,  3 Jul 2026 00:09:13 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260703001009.1572444-3-kuniyu@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260703001009.1572444-1-kuniyu@google.com>

When rtnl_link_unregister() is called during module unload, it
calls __rtnl_kill_links() for every netns.

__rtnl_kill_links() collects all devices of the unloaded module
and passes them to unregister_netdevice_many().

Let's move unregister_netdevice_many() to rtnl_link_unregister()
to unregister all devices across netns in a single batch.
