    [VLAN]: Simplify vlan unregistration · af301517
    Patrick McHardy authored
    Keep track of the number of VLAN devices in a vlan group. This allows
    to have the caller sense when the group is going to be destroyed and
    stop using it, which in turn allows to remove the wrapper around
    unregister_vlan_dev for the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notifier and avoid
    iterating over all possible VLAN ids whenever a device in unregistered.
    
    Also fix what looks like a use-after-free (but is actually safe since
    we're holding the RTNL), the real_dev reference should not be dropped
    while we still use it.
