From c2892f02712e9516d72841d5c019ed6916329794 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexey Dobriyan Date: Tue, 16 Feb 2010 07:57:44 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] gre: fix netns vs proto registration ordering GRE protocol receive hook can be called right after protocol addition is done. If netns stuff is not yet initialized, we're going to oops in net_generic(). This is remotely oopsable if ip_gre is compiled as module and packet comes at unfortunate moment of module loading.
