In fact, I'd say this is entirely a private functional interface specifically built for generic network interface tear-down. If you are trying to use this function in another context, that's something you need to discuss with us first before we start peppering it with various assertions. I am not applying this patch. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
