From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Somnath Kotur Subject: [PATCH v3 for-next 23/33] net/mlx4: Postpone the registration of net_device Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2015 02:50:12 +0530 Message-ID: <13871ae3-4fe4-4aa9-a7d7-61a2ea4f2a48@CMEXHTCAS2.ad.emulex.com> References: <1427318422-12004-1-git-send-email-somnath.kotur@emulex.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Return-path: In-Reply-To: <1427318422-12004-1-git-send-email-somnath.kotur-laKkSmNT4hbQT0dZR+AlfA@public.gmane.org> Sender: linux-rdma-owner-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org To: roland-DgEjT+Ai2ygdnm+yROfE0A@public.gmane.org Cc: linux-rdma-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org, Moni Shoua , Somnath Kotur List-Id: linux-rdma@vger.kernel.org From: Moni Shoua The mlx4 network driver was registered in the context of the 'add' function of the core driver (called when HW should be registered). This makes the netdev event NETDEV_REGISTER to be sent in a context where the answer to get_protocol_dev() callback returns NULL. This may be confusing to listeners of netdev events. This patch is a preparation to the patch that implements the get_netdev() callback in the IB/mlx4 driver.
