Hello,

I upgraded several machines from 2.6.32.43 to 2.6.32.46 and
they all crashed when the kernel boots.

I bisected it to the following commit:


35ed3d0fb62804090a3f21a7ce84c538a6ff852f is the first bad commit

tunnels: fix netns vs proto registration ordering

commit d5aa407f59f5b83d2c50ec88f5bf56d40f1f8978 upstream.

Same stuff as in ip_gre patch: receive hook can be called before netns
setup is done, oopsing in net_generic().

Reverting it on top of 2.6.32.46 fixes the problem for me.
