linux-toradex.git/net/core/net-sysfs.c, branch v2.6.22.15 Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules [NET]: Fix race condition about network device name allocation. 2007-05-19T22:39:25+00:00 Stephen Hemminger shemminger@linux-foundation.org 2007-05-19T22:39:25+00:00 9093bbb2d96d0184f037cea9b4e952a44ebe7c32 Kenji Kaneshige found this race between device removal and registration. On unregister it is possible for the old device to exist, because sysfs file is still open. A new device with 'eth%d' will select the same name, but sysfs kobject register will fial. The following changes the shutdown order slightly. It hold a removes the sysfs entries earlier (on unregister_netdevice), but holds a kobject reference. Then when todo runs the actual last put free happens. Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This lets the network core have the ability to handle suspend/resume
issues, if it wants to.

This is version 21 of the Wireless Extensions. Changelog :
	o finishes migrating the ESSID API (remove the +1)
	o netdev->get_wireless_stats is no more
	o long/short retry

This is a redacted version of a patch originally submitted by Jean
Tourrilhes.  I removed most of the additions, in order to minimize
future support requirements for nl80211 (or other WE successor).
