Subject: [PATCH net-next-2.6] veth: Fix unregister_netdevice_queue for veth
Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2009 17:51:13 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m1639wjshq.fsf_-_@fess.ebiederm.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <m1hbtgmqew.fsf@fess.ebiederm.org> (Eric W. Biederman's message of "Fri\, 30 Oct 2009 16\:07\:51 -0700")


I tested the recent unregister many changes and got a weird,
nasty and seemingly unrelasted kernel oops. Changing
unregister_netdevice_queue to use list_move_tail fixes
the problem for me.

ip link add type veth
rmmod veth

ls /sys/class/net/
showed one of the veth devices still present.

A subsequent ip link oopsed the box.
