Message-ID: <1487623419-6442-7-git-send-email-Yuval.Mintz@cavium.com> Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2017 22:43:35 +0200 From: Yuval Mintz <Yuval.Mintz@...ium.com> To: <davem@...emloft.net>, <netdev@...r.kernel.org> CC: Yuval Mintz <Yuval.Mintz@...ium.com> Subject: [PATCH net-next 06/10] qede: Free netdevice only after stoping slowpath qed needs to be informed of the removal of the qede interface prior to its actual removal, as qede has some registered callbacks that might get called async to the removal flow.
