From a5ee155136b4a8f4ab0e4c9c064b661da475e298 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Sun, 29 Nov 2009 15:45:58 +0000 Subject: net: NETDEV_UNREGISTER_PERNET -> NETDEV_UNREGISTER_BATCH The motivation for an additional notifier in batched netdevice notification (rt_do_flush) only needs to be called once per batch not once per namespace. For further batching improvements I need a guarantee that the netdevices are unregistered in order allowing me to unregister an all of the network devices in a network namespace at the same time with the guarantee that the loopback device is really and truly unregistered last. Additionally it appears that we moved the route cache flush after the final synchronize_net, which seems wrong and there was no explanation. So I have restored the original location of the final synchronize_net. Cc: Octavian Purdila Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Signed-off-by: David S.
