2.6.25-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us
know.
------------------
From: Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>
[ Upstream commit: 7312096454b6cd71267eaa3d0efb408e449e9ff3 ]
As noticed by Ben Greear, macvlan crashes the kernel when unloading the
module. The reason is that it tries to clean up the macvlan_port pointer
on the macvlan device itself instead of the underlying device. A non-NULL
pointer is taken as indication that the macvlan_handle_frame_hook is
valid, when receiving the next packet on the underlying device it tries
to call the NULL hook and crashes.
Clean up the macvlan_port on the correct device to fix this.
