From 8d76527e728d00d1cf9d5dd663caffb2dcf05ae6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Herbert Xu Date: Mon, 4 Jun 2007 23:34:08 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [IPV4]: Only panic if inetdev_init fails for loopback When I made the inetdev_init call work on all devices I incorrectly left in the panic call as well. It is obviously undesirable to panic on an allocation failure for a normal network device. This patch moves the panic call under the loopback if clause.
