From: David Laight <David.Laight@...LAB.COM> Date: Mon, 8 Sep 2014 13:23:33 +0000 > This whole 'try to load the module' path should be predicated on > 'interface not found'. And that's the first thing dev_load() does, it tries to look up the device by name, and only does the module load attempt if that fails. Nobody cares if the module load itself actually fails, dev_load() returns void after all. -- 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
