From aed0628dae0c26b47d40d65f942abe30279b52a5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Hutchings Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2009 08:16:27 +0000 Subject: sfc: Fix ordering of device registration and initial netif_carrier_off() We must call netif_carrier_off() after the device is registered, not before, to set the operational state and user-space IFF_RUNNING flag correctly. Since we don't want observers to see an intermediate state, open-code register_netdev() and add efx_update_name() and netif_carrier_off() into the locked region.
