From a4ac28c0d06a1c22138225a228d3a4eaffe9dd77 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sven Eckelmann Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2013 17:10:26 +0800 Subject: batman-adv: Allow to use rntl_link for device creation/deletion The sysfs configuration interface of batman-adv to add/remove soft-interfaces is not deadlock free and doesn't follow the currently common way to create new virtual interfaces. An additional interface though rtnl_link is introduced which provides easy device creation/deletion with tools like "ip": $ ip link add dev bat0 type batadv $ ip link del dev bat0 Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann Signed-off-by: Marek Lindner Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli --- net/batman-adv/main.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to 'net/batman-adv/main.c') diff --git a/net/batman-adv/main.c b/net/batman-adv/main.c index 0495a7dc7505..62b1f89b7b4d 100644 --- a/net/batman-adv/main.c +++ b/net/batman-adv/main.c @@ -71,6 +71,7 @@ static int __init batadv_init(void) batadv_debugfs_init(); register_netdevice_notifier(&batadv_hard_if_notifier); + rtnl_link_register(&batadv_link_ops); pr_info("B.A.T.M.A.N. advanced %s (compatibility version %i) loaded\n", BATADV_SOURCE_VERSION, BATADV_COMPAT_VERSION); @@ -81,6 +82,7 @@ static int __init batadv_init(void) static void __exit batadv_exit(void) { batadv_debugfs_destroy(); + rtnl_link_unregister(&batadv_link_ops); unregister_netdevice_notifier(&batadv_hard_if_notifier); batadv_hardif_remove_interfaces(); -- cgit v1.2.3
