3.16.52-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 0ad646c81b2182f7fa67ec0c8c825e0ee165696d upstream.
register_netdevice() could fail early when we have an invalid
dev name, in which case ->ndo_uninit() is not called. For tun
device, this is a problem because a timer etc. are already
initialized and it expects ->ndo_uninit() to clean them up.
We could move these initializations into a ->ndo_init() so
that register_netdevice() knows better, however this is still
complicated due to the logic in tun_detach().
Therefore, I choose to just call dev_get_valid_name() before
register_netdevice(), which is quicker and much easier to audit.
And for this specific case, it is already enough.
