In this error path, when the interface has had a problem, we call dev_close(), which is disallowed for two reasons: *) takes again the UML internal spinlock, inside the ->stop method of this device *) can be called in process context only, while we're in interrupt context. I've also thought that calling dev_close() may be a wrong policy to follow, but it's not up to me to decide that. However, we may end up with multiple dev_close() queued on the same device. But the initial test for (dev->flags & IFF_UP) makes this harmless, though - and dev_close() is supposed to care about races with itself. So there's no harm in delaying the shutdown, IMHO. Something to mark the interface as "going to shutdown" would be appreciated, but dev_deactivate has the same problems as dev_close(), so we can't use it either.
