There are many problems if you signal an error after we do: err = register_netdevice(dev); For one thing, you aren't unregistering 'dev' in that error path, furthermore, priv->peer points to the netdevice you are unregistering. I think this cannot be done, what you aim to achieve, and we just simply have to live with the current semantics. Bring the device up after you have created it. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
