Subject: net: Introduce unregister_netdevice_queue()
X-Git-Tag: MMI-PSA29.97-13-9~25754^2~678
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=44a0873d52282f24b1894c58c0f157e0f626ddc9;p=GitHub%2FMotorolaMobilityLLC%2Fkernel-slsi.git

net: Introduce unregister_netdevice_queue()

This patchs adds an unreg_list anchor to struct net_device, and
introduces an unregister_netdevice_queue() function, able to queue
a net_device to a list instead of immediately unregister it.
