I tested the recent unregister many changes and got a weird, nasty and seemingly unrelasted kernel oops. Changing unregister_netdevice_queue to use list_move_tail fixes the problem for me. ip link add type veth rmmod veth ls /sys/class/net/ showed one of the veth devices still present. A subsequent ip link oopsed the box. Signed-off-by: "Eric W. Biederman" <redacted> ---
