It is an example of a common pattern found throughout the kernel: When undoing a series of actions, undo them in the reverse order from the way they were done originally. Since we call pre_reset in forward order, we undo this by calling post_reset in reverse order. > Is there any reason for this ? especially after rebind has been > changed in above mentioned patch from reverse to forward order. If you're asking whether changing it to use forward order would create a bug, I don't know.
