From 3b8bcfd5d31ea0fec58681d035544ace707d2536 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Sat, 30 May 2009 01:39:53 +0200 Subject: net: introduce pre-up netdev notifier NETDEV_UP is called after the device is set UP, but sometimes it is useful to be able to veto the device UP. Introduce a new NETDEV_PRE_UP notifier that can be used for exactly this. The first use case will be cfg80211 denying interfaces to be set UP if the device is known to be rfkill'ed.
