Hello! I'm working on stacking some virtual interfaces, and ran into a problem with locking.
Basically, I have an ethernet-like device, and on top of that I am putting 802.1Q vlans..and on top of that, some other vlan (macvlan). In the event notifier for the vlan, I attempt to delete all vlans who's under-lying device is going away. I do the same for the macvlan. Currently, I am setting a deadlock warning because the macvlan code is calling unregister_netdev, but the 'rmmod' method already has a lock in there due to having earlier called unregister_netdev on the .1q vlan. So, the question is: Should I be calling unregister_netdev from the notifier callback?
