Re: [PATCH] (0/9) free_netdev -- delay freeing of net_device structure till after last use

[Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@xxxxxxxxx>]

David,

Considering that these patches introduce only a tiny diff in the 
low-level net driver, and that the viro work is still pending, I'm ok 
with going ahead and applying these patches.
Since they mix net/* and drivers/net/*, I would actually prefer that you 
merge 100% of the patchset, once the patchset is ok with you.
Also, my tendency is to apply patches 1-8, and not apply patch 9 just 
yet.  Even though patch 9 is a fix, those specific areas of code, I'm 
betting, will change when those drivers are fixed WRT full dynamic 
allocation and refcounting.
Comments?
