The newline patch is trivial. The other patch addresses several problems with registration. Worth noting are the problems registering a netdevice that has previously been unregistered. This doesn't seem work and I was wondering if this is expected behavior in net/core(see patch 2/2 for a description). --- Patrick Mullaney (2): venet: Fixes for shutdown and re-registration of venet devices. venet-macvlan: correctly remove newline from lower device name kernel/vbus/devices/venet/device.c | 11 ++++-- kernel/vbus/devices/venet/macvlan.c | 61 +++++++++++++++++++++++++------ kernel/vbus/devices/venet/venetdevice.h | 7 +++- 3 files changed, 63 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) -- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
