btle 6lowpan races

Hi Jukka,

I think it's bad for filling data for btle lowpan private data at point [0]. This is called after register_netdev and the rtnl_lock isn't hold after calling "register_netdev" anymore which ends in a possible interface up between register and filling lowpan_dev information. The result would be that lowpan_dev is readed somewhere where it isn't filled.

The solution would be simple move the filling between alloc and register of netdev.

If you like I can prepare patches for that.

Any thoughts on this?

Hi Alex,

Yes, that makes sense.

Sure, patches are welcome.

Cheers,
