3.0-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: "Eric W. Biederman" <[email protected]> [ Upstream commit 7d3d43dab4e978d8d9ad1acf8af15c9b1c4b0f0f ] We already synthesize events in register_netdevice_notifier and synthesizing events in unregister_netdevice_notifier allows to us remove the need for special case cleanup code. This change should be safe as it adds no new cases for existing callers of unregiser_netdevice_notifier to handle. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S.
