[PATCH] iseries_veth: Cleanup skbs to prevent unregister_netdevice() hanging
Hi Andrew, Jeff, The iseries_veth driver is badly behaved in that it will keep TX packets hanging around forever if they're not ACK'ed and the queue never fills up. This causes the unregister_netdevice code to wait forever when we try to take the device down, because there's still skbs around with references to our struct net_device. There's already code to cleanup any un-ACK'ed packets in veth_stop_connection() but it's being called after we unregister the net_device, which is too late. The fix is to rearrange the module exit function so that we cleanup any outstanding skbs and then unregister the driver. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au>
