net: Handle unregister properly when netdev namespace change fails.

davem330 · davem330 · commit 436389007967 · 2015-03-10T21:59:46.000-04:00
If rtnl_newlink() fails on it's call to dev_change_net_namespace(), we have to make use of the ->dellink() method, if present, just like we do when rtnl_configure_link() fails. Fixes: 317f481 ("rtnl: allow to create device with IFLA_LINK_NETNSID set") Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
