From 1c5cae815d19ffe02bdfda1260949ef2b1806171 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jiri Pirko Date: Sat, 30 Apr 2011 01:21:32 +0000 Subject: net: call dev_alloc_name from register_netdevice Force dev_alloc_name() to be called from register_netdevice() by dev_get_valid_name(). That allows to remove multiple explicit dev_alloc_name() calls. The possibility to call dev_alloc_name in advance remains. This also fixes veth creation regresion caused by 84c49d8c3e4abefb0a41a77b25aa37ebe8d6b743 Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko Signed-off-by: David S.
