From 171995e5d82dcc92bea37a7d2a2ecc21068a0f19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Apollon Oikonomopoulos Date: Tue, 7 Dec 2010 09:43:30 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] x25: decrement netdev reference counts on unload x25 does not decrement the network device reference counts on module unload. Thus unregistering any pre-existing interface after unloading the x25 module hangs and results in unregister_netdevice: waiting for tap0 to become free. Usage count = 1 This patch decrements the reference counts of all interfaces in x25_link_free, the way it is already done in x25_link_device_down for NETDEV_DOWN events.
