Now that the unregister_netdev flow for IPoIB no longer relies on external code we can now introduce the use of priv_destructor and needs_free_netdev. The rdma_netdev flow is switched to use the netdev common priv_destructor instead of the special free_rdma_netdev and the IPOIB ULP adjusted: - priv_destructor needs to switch to point to the ULP's destructor which will then call the rdma_ndev's in the right order - We need to be careful around the error unwind of register_netdev as it sometimes calls priv_destructor on failure - ULPs need to use ndo_init/uninit to ensure proper ordering of failures around register_netdev Switching to priv_destructor is a necessary pre-requisite to using the rtnl new_link mechanism. The VNIC user for rdma_netdev should also be revised, but that is left for another patch.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
