From 332dd96f7ac15e937088fe11f15cfe0210e8edd1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 9 Nov 2010 11:46:33 -0800 Subject: net/dst: dst_dev_event() called after other notifiers Followup of commit ef885afbf8a37689 (net: use rcu_barrier() in rollback_registered_many) dst_dev_event() scans a garbage dst list that might be feeded by various network notifiers at device dismantle time. Its important to call dst_dev_event() after other notifiers, or we might enter the infamous msleep(250) in netdev_wait_allrefs(), and wait one second before calling again call_netdevice_notifiers(NETDEV_UNREGISTER, dev) to properly remove last device references. Use priority -10 to let dst_dev_notifier be called after other network notifiers (they have the default 0 priority) Reported-by: Ben Greear Reported-by: Nicolas Dichtel Reported-by: Octavian Purdila Reported-by: Benjamin LaHaise Tested-by: Ben Greear Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Signed-off-by: David S.
