The initialization of an net_device object should be done in the init/constructor function and not from the outside after the register_netdevice was done to avoid race conditions.
This patchset seems to be similar. Shouldn't it have been part of 3.8-rc1 or got rejected? Neither of it happened in the last month
It was discussed and a decision was made. Please read all mails in this thread before making noise.
What decision? I only see something about Patch 6 and Patch 7: Antonio Quartulli doesn't want rtnetlink support in batman-adv. I don't see any other statement about the rest of the patchset.
Quoting Antonio:
Anyway, I discussed about this together with the others and it seems that a proper solution now is to wait before merging this patchset and fix the current sysfs/rtnl_lock problem first. What do you think?
Adding a new API without fixing the current one doesn't sound like a good move. <<<
What isn't clear ?
