Hello! > It is to make sure that anyone (other cpus using the dst) who "saw" > the old dst->dev is done doing whatever they were doing _BEFORE_ > we put the device reference. Actually, he noticed right thing. I forgot that this function works in context when dev, which is argument is of the function, is held, so dev_put() here can be safely replaced with __dev_put(). So, synchonize_kernel() can be moved somewhere to unregister_netdevice(), (maybe, it is already present there under surface) Alexey |
