Biederman says: ==================== netpoll: Cleanup received packet processing This is the long-winded, careful, and polite version of removing the netpoll receive packet processing. First I untangle the code in small steps. Then I modify the code to not force reception and dropping of packets when we are transmiting a packet with netpoll. Finally I move all of the packet reception under CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP and delete CONFIG_NETPOLL_TRAP. If someone wants to do a stable backport of these patches, it would require backporting the first 18 patches that handle the budget == 0 in the networking drivers, and the first 6 of these patches. If anyone wants to resurrect netpoll packet reception someday it should just be a matter of reverting the last patch. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
