Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2007 17:07:25 +0800 From: Herbert Xu <herbert@...dor.apana.org.au> To: "David S. Miller" <davem@...emloft.net>, netdev@...r.kernel.org Cc: Patrick McHardy <kaber@...sh.net>, Herbert Xu <herbert@...dor.apana.org.au> Subject: [0/6] Allow registration/change name notifications to fail Hi Dave: This series of patches adds support to let netdev registration and change name events to fail. Failures of the former kind prevents the device from registered while the latter attempts to roll back the change (which unfortunately can also fail). If the failure occurs while a netdev is being registered, then the registration as a whole will fail. If it occurs when a protocol is being registered, then that protocol will fail to register instead. Having this allows us to flag allocations failures in a meaningful way rather than letting the next action that requires what is allocated to flag the failure. In particular, this allows the reporting of failures to allocate the IPv4/IPv6 device objects.
