From 9bf1907f4293d61d5a283d18c4ad28d048261797 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2011 04:28:46 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] macvtap: Rewrite macvtap_newlink so the error handling works. Place macvlan_common_newlink at the end of macvtap_newlink because failing in newlink after registering your network device is not supported. Move device_create into a netdevice creation notifier. The network device notifier is the only hook that is called after the network device has been registered with the device layer and before register_network_device returns success.
