From: Francesco Ruggeri Date: Sat, 23 Apr 2016 22:03:32 +0000 (-0700) Subject: macvlan: fix failure during registration v3 X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=308379607548524b8d86dbf20134681024935e0b;p=linux-beck.git macvlan: fix failure during registration v3 If macvlan_common_newlink fails in register_netdevice after macvlan_init then it decrements port->count twice, first in macvlan_uninit (from register_netdevice or rollback_registered) and then again in macvlan_common_newlink. A similar problem may exist in the ipvlan driver. This patch consolidates modifications to port->count into macvlan_init and macvlan_uninit (thanks to Eric Biederman for suggesting this approach). v3: remove macvtap specific bits.
