This patch adds code to allow errors to be passed up from event handlers of NETDEV_REGISTER and NETDEV_CHANGENAME. It also adds the notifier_from_errno/notifier_to_errnor helpers to pass the errno value up to the notifier caller. If an error is detected when a device is registered, it causes that operation to fail. A NETDEV_UNREGISTER will be sent to all event handlers. Similarly if NETDEV_CHANGENAME fails the original name is restored and a new NETDEV_CHANGENAME event is sent. As such all event handlers must be idempotent with respect to these events. When an event handler is registered NETDEV_REGISTER events are sent for all devices currently registered. Should any of them fail, we will send NETDEV_GOING_DOWN/NETDEV_DOWN/NETDEV_UNREGISTER events to that handler for the devices which have already been registered with it. The handler registration itself will fail. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> |
