From 6b0ca703b31fcff8dffc856d9a1b57ead5e0439a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Stein Date: Tue, 27 Nov 2012 08:52:34 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] can: Do not call dev_put if restart timer is running upon close commit ab48b03ec9ae1840a1e427e2375bd0d9d554b4ed upstream. If the restart timer is running due to BUS-OFF and the device is disconnected an dev_put will decrease the usage counter to -1 thus blocking the interface removal, resulting in the following dmesg lines repeating every 10s: can: notifier: receive list not found for dev can0 can: notifier: receive list not found for dev can0 can: notifier: receive list not found for dev can0 unregister_netdevice: waiting for can0 to become free.
