From 3b410a310b48a8e7de3438957635093596ad5ca5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Neil Horman Date: Wed, 13 Oct 2010 16:01:52 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] bonding: Fix netconsole to not deadlock on rmmod Netconsole calls netpoll_cleanup on receipt of a NETDEVICE_UNREGISTER event. The notifier subsystem calls these event handlers with rtnl_lock held, which netpoll_cleanup also takes, resulting in deadlock. Fix this by calling the __netpoll_cleanup interior function instead, and fixing up the additional pointers. Signed-off-by: Neil Horman Signed-off-by: David S.
