[PATCH net V2 0/2] net: delete duplicate dev_set_rx_mode() call

[Weiping Pan]

This patchset delete duplicate dev_set_rx_mode() call, and it also make some
functions return void instead of int.

[PATCH net 1/2] net: delete duplicate dev_set_rx_mode() call

[Weiping Pan]

In __dev_open(), it already calls dev_set_rx_mode().
and dev_set_rx_mode() has no effect for a net device which does not have
IFF_UP flag set.

So the call of dev_set_rx_mode() is duplicate in __dev_change_flags().

[PATCH net 2/2] net: make some functions return void

[Weiping Pan]

dev_close_many(), __dev_close_many() and __dev_close() do not need to return a
int, so make them return void, and modify __dev_change_flags() accordingly.

They may not need to return anything, but IMHO it is more logical to
keep the returned type identical to dev_close().

Why for -net not -net-next?
This probably doesn't fix any bug, at least the second one.

I agree with other reviewers that this doesn't make much sense and it's
better to have the close functions have consistent return types.

I'm not applying this, sorry.
