commit766b0515d5upstream. If register_netdevice() fails at the very last stage - the notifier call - some subsystems may have already seen it and grabbed a reference. struct net_device can't be freed right away without calling netdev_wait_all_refs(). Now that we have a clean interface in form of dev->needs_free_netdev and lenient free_netdev() we can undo what commit93ee31f14f("[NET]: Fix free_netdev on register_netdev failure.") has done and complete the unregistration path by bringing the net_set_todo() call back. After registration fails user is still expected to explicitly free the net_device, so make sure ->needs_free_netdev is cleared, otherwise rolling back the registration will cause the old double free for callers who release rtnl_lock before the free. This also solves the problem of priv_destructor not being called on notifier error. net_set_todo() will be moved back into unregister_netdevice_queue() in a follow up.

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.
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.
