If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Hiroaki SHIMODA commit 890fdf2a0cb88202d1427589db2cf29c1bdd3c1d upstream. In register_netdevice(), when ndo_init() is successful and later some error occurred, ndo_uninit() will be called. So dummy deivce is desirable to implement ndo_uninit() method to free percpu stats for this case. And, ndo_uninit() is also called along with dev->destructor() when device is unregistered, so in order to prevent dev->dstats from being freed twice, dev->destructor is modified to free_netdev().
