From b217d616a15fcfb3caf2a72c1a071c6d3f182f8d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Herbert Xu Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2007 17:04:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [IPV4/IPV6]: Fail registration if inet device construction fails Now that netdev notifications can fail, we can use this to signal errors during registration for IPv4/IPv6. In particular, if we fail to allocate memory for the inet device, we can fail the netdev registration. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu Signed-off-by: David S.
