[PATCH net-next 0/9] netpoll: finish untangling netconsole from netpoll
Posted by Breno Leitao 5 hours ago
This is the final series moving the netconsole-specific functions out of
netpoll and into netconsole.

There is nothing else left except struct netpoll ->name and ->dev_mac
fields, which are netconsole-specific fields, but they are still in
netpoll structure (no other netpoll user uses these two fields).

netpoll is now left simpler and with a clearer role: an API that takes
an skb and transmits it. The device setup and the local/remote address
handling that only netconsole needs no longer sit in the generic netpoll
code, but in netconsole (which was the only user).

struct netpoll gets leaner too. The netconsole-only fields are gone, so
the other netpoll users (bonding, team, bridge, vlan, macvlan, dsa) no
longer carry fields they never touch. (except ->name and ->dev_mac)
