- uml-network-interface-hotplug-error-handling.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm]

The patch titled
     uml: network interface hotplug error handling
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     uml-network-interface-hotplug-error-handling.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: uml: network interface hotplug error handling
From: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com>

This fixes a number of problems associated with network interface hotplug.

The userspace initialization function can fail in some cases, but the
failure was never passed back to eth_configure, which proceeded with the
configuration.  This results in a zombie device that is present, but can't
work.  This is fixed by allowing the initialization routines to return an
error, which is checked, and the configuration aborted on failure.

eth_configure failed to check for many failures.  Even when it did check,
it didn't undo whatever initializations has already happened, so a present,
but partially initialized and non-working device could result.  It now
checks everything that can fail, and bails out, undoing whatever had been
done.

The return value of eth_configure was always ignored, so it is now just
void.
