From 3b27e105550f7c4a79ecb6d6a9c49c651c59ae9b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Lamparter Date: Fri, 17 Sep 2010 03:22:19 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] netns: keep vlan slaves on master netns move previously, if a vlan master device was moved from one network namespace to another, all 802.1q and macvlan slaves were deleted. we can use dev->reg_state to figure out whether dev_change_net_namespace is happening, since that won't set dev->reg_state NETREG_UNREGISTERING. so, this changes 8021q and macvlan to ignore NETDEV_UNREGISTER when reg_state is not NETREG_UNREGISTERING.
