1) netif_rx() / dev_forward_skb() should not be called from process
context.
2) ipvlan_count_rx() should be called with preemption disabled.
3) We should check if ipvlan->dev is up before feeding packets
to netif_rx()
4) We need to prevent device from disappearing if some packets
are in the multicast backlog.
5) One kfree_skb() should be a consume_skb() eventually

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.
