From: Junwei Hu <hujunwei4@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 532b0f7ece4cb2ffd24dc723ddf55242d1188e5e ] Error message printed: modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'tipc': Address family not supported by protocol. when modprobe tipc after the following patch: switch order of device registration, commit 7e27e8d6130c ("tipc: switch order of device registration to fix a crash") Because sock_create_kern(net, AF_TIPC, ...) is called by tipc_topsrv_create_listener() in the initialization process of tipc_net_ops, tipc_socket_init() must be execute before that. I move tipc_socket_init() into function tipc_init_net().
