From 9fdce099bb72df534daa6193318feaec177998fc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:51:13 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] veth: Fix unregister_netdevice_queue for veth I tested the recent unregister many changes and got a weird, nasty and seemingly unrelasted kernel oops. Changing unregister_netdevice_queue to use list_move_tail fixes the problem for me. ip link add type veth rmmod veth ls /sys/class/net/ showed one of the veth devices still present. A subsequent ip link oopsed the box. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" Acked-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
