From 7ffbe3fdace0bdfcdab8dc6c77506feda0871f79 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2009 05:15:27 +0000 Subject: net: introduce NETDEV_POST_INIT notifier For various purposes including a wireless extensions bugfix, we need to hook into the netdev creation before before netdev_register_kobject(). This will also ease doing the dev type assignment that Marcel was working on for cfg80211 drivers w/o touching them all.

It allows us to factorize some device unregister work such as clearing the routing cache. Signed-off-by: Octavian Purdila Signed-off-by: David S.

Biederman" Date: Sun, 29 Nov 2009 15:45:58 +0000 Subject: net: NETDEV_UNREGISTER_PERNET -> NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH The motivation for an additional notifier in batched netdevice notification (rt_do_flush) only needs to be called once per batch not once per namespace. For further batching improvements I need a guarantee that the netdevices are unregistered in order allowing me to unregister an all of the network devices in a network namespace at the same time with the guarantee that the loopback device is really and truly unregistered last. Additionally it appears that we moved the route cache flush after the final synchronize_net, which seems wrong and there was no explanation. So I have restored the original location of the final synchronize_net. Cc: Octavian Purdila Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Signed-off-by: David S.
