From 415fb87da80fa45a9cbe820cb2a86e70668688eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Chan Date: Sun, 28 Jul 2013 19:03:55 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] cnic: Simplify netdev events handling. After this earlier commit to simplify probing: commit 4bd9b0fffb193d2e288f67f81821af32df8d4349 cnic, bnx2x, bnx2: Simplify cnic probing. we can now reliably receive netdev events and we can simplify the handling of these events. We now remove the logic that tries to handle missed NETDEV_REGISTER events. This change will allow cleanup to be simplified in the next patch. We can now rely on the play back of netdev events during unregister_netdevice_notifier() to cleanup the structures. Signed-off-by: Michael Chan Signed-off-by: David S.
