Date: Fri, 10 Dec 2010 18:03:00 -0600 From: Jon Mason <jon.mason@...r.com> To: "David S. Miller" <davem@...emloft.net> Cc: netdev@...r.kernel.org, Sivakumar Subramani <sivakumar.subramani@...r.com>, Sreenivasa Honnur <sreenivasa.honnur@...r.com>, Ram Vepa <ram.vepa@...r.com> Subject: [PATCH 5/7] vxge: hotplug stall When hot-unplugging a vxge adapter while running, the driver's remove routine prints warning and then stalls the calling thread. This is due to vxge_remove calling vxge_device_unregister to unregister the netdev before calling flush_scheduled_work clear any pending work. Swapping the order of these two functions resolves the issue.
