Mainline Linux tree for various devices, only for fun :)

These pernet_operations have only init() method. It allocates memory for net_device, calls register_netdev() and assigns net::loopback_dev. register_netdev() is allowed be used without additional locks, as it's synchronized on rtnl_lock(). There are many examples of using this functon directly from ioctl(). The only difference, compared to ioctl(), is that net is not completely alive at this moment. But it looks like, there is no way for parallel pernet_operations to dereference the net_device, as the most of struct net_device lists, where it's linked, are related to net, and the net is not liked. The exceptions are net_device::unreg_list, close_list, todo_list, used for unregistration, and ::link_watch_list, where net_device may be linked to global lists. Unregistration of loopback_dev obviously can't happen, when loopback_net_init() is executing, as the net as alive. It occurs in default_device_ops, which currently requires net_mutex, and it behaves as a barrier at the moment. It will be considered in next patch. Speaking about link_watch_list, it seems, there is no way for loopback_dev at time of registration to be linked in lweventlist and be available for another pernet_operations.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
