These pernet operations consist of exit() and exit_batch() methods. default_device_exit() moves not-local and virtual devices to init_net. There is nothing exciting, because this may happen in any time on a working system, and rtnl_lock() and synchronize_net() protect us from all cases of external dereference. The same for default_device_exit_batch(). Similar unregisteration may happen in any time on a system. Here several lists (like todo_list), which are accessed under rtnl_lock(). After rtnl_unlock() and netdev_run_todo() all the devices are flushed. Signed-off-by: Kirill Tkhai <ktkhai@virtuozzo.com> Acked-by: Andrei Vagin <avagin@virtuozzo.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

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.
