From: Alexander Duyck Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2008 22:13:05 +0000 (-0700) Subject: net: add netif_napi_del function to allow for removal of napistructs X-Git-Tag: v2.6.27-rc1~969^2~146^2~7 X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d8156534040996f6a93a24d3592d5d587f2587e5;p=karo-tx-linux.git net: add netif_napi_del function to allow for removal of napistructs Adds netif_napi_del function which is used to remove the napi struct from the netdev napi_list in cases where CONFIG_NETPOLL was enabled. The motivation for adding this is to handle the case in which the number of queues on a device changes due to a configuration change. Previously the napi structs for each queue would be left in the list until the netdev was freed.
