From 9baa0b0364103dd726384c71db30b74044754743 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Or Gerlitz Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2012 05:56:36 +0000 Subject: IB/ipoib: Add rtnl_link_ops support Add rtnl_link_ops to IPoIB, with the first usage being child device create/delete through them. Childs devices are now either legacy ones, created/deleted through the ipoib sysfs entries, or RTNL ones. Adding support for RTNL childs involved refactoring of ipoib_vlan_add which is now used by both the sysfs and the link_ops code. Also, added ndo_uninit entry to support calling unregister_netdevice_queue from the rtnl dellink entry. This required removal of calls to ipoib_dev_cleanup from the driver in flows which use unregister_netdevice, since the networking core will invoke ipoib_uninit which does exactly that.
