[PATCH 2/2] venet: Fixes for shutdown and re-registration of venetdevices.

From: Patrick Mullaney
Date: Wed Dec 02 2009 - 16:10:55 EST


Fixed a problem with simple re-registration of the venet netdevice. The
netdev core infrastructure appears to have a problem with re-registering
a previously registered netdevice(reg_state and kobj.state_initialized
need to be reset to their default values). I now do this prior to calling
register_netdev but this probably should be moved to net/core. Fixed an
issue with the removal of the lower level device of a venet-macvlan. I'm
planning a cleaner solution in the future. Fixed a lock issue with
venet-macvlan stop method that was causing a hang.
