From 4363890079674db7b00cf1bb0e6fa430e846e86b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S. Miller" Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2015 21:58:32 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] net: Handle unregister properly when netdev namespace change fails. If rtnl_newlink() fails on it's call to dev_change_net_namespace(), we have to make use of the ->dellink() method, if present, just like we do when rtnl_configure_link() fails.
