From 30c4cf577fb5b68c16e5750d6bdbd7072e42b279 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David L Stevens Date: Thu, 4 Jan 2007 12:31:14 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [IPV4/IPV6]: Fix inet{,6} device initialization order. It is important that we only assign dev->ip{,6}_ptr only after all portions of the inet{,6} are setup. Otherwise we can receive packets before the multicast spinlocks et al. are initialized.
