[patch 01/32] pv6: track device renames in snmp6

From: Chris Wright
Date: Fri Jun 08 2007 - 03:20:48 EST


-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------

From: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

When network device's are renamed, the IPV6 snmp6 code
gets confused. It doesn't track name changes so it will OOPS
when network device's are removed.

The fix is trivial, just unregister/re-register in notify handler.
