[V2 Patch net-next-2.6] netpoll: disable netpoll when enslave a device

From: Amerigo Wang <hidden>
Date: 2011-05-19 08:40:21
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: bonding driver, netconsole, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Jay Vosburgh, Breno Leitao, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

Currently we do nothing when we enslave a net device which is running netconsole.
Neil pointed out that we may get weird results in such case, so let's disable
netpoll on the device being enslaved. I think it is too harsh to prevent
the device being ensalved if it is running netconsole.

By the way, this patch also removes the NETDEV_GOING_DOWN from netconsole
netdev notifier, because netpoll will check if the device is running or not
and we don't handle NETDEV_PRE_UP neither.
