From b18e5e86b44be0dca399d8e2383f97c8077392ce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Tai <thomas.tai@oracle.com> Date: Mon, 15 May 2017 10:51:07 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ldmvsw: unregistering netdev before disable hardware When running LDom binding/unbinding test, kernel may panic in ldmvsw_open(). It is more likely that because we're removing the ldc connection before unregistering the netdev in vsw_port_remove(), we set up a window of time where one process could be removing the device while another trying to UP the device. This also sometimes causes vio handshake error due to opening a device without closing it completely. We should unregister the netdev before we disable the "hardware".
