Hi Maciej,

Thank you for letting me know, and for the fix — fixing it on the ipvlan
side by releasing pnodes_lock before unregister_netdevice_many() is a
cleaner solution since it removes the problematic lock ordering edge
without touching the AF_XDP paths at all.

Please consider my v6 patch withdrawn. I will not send further revisions.

I am sorry for the noise caused by the multiple revisions during this
process, and I appreciate both the feedback and the patience from you and
the team.

Thanks again,
Khawar
