This is a set of small cleanups and fixes for netpoll that makes the
code a little more penetratable and reliable.
The most significant is patch 6 which adds the function
skb_irq_freeable. Patch 6 makes use of skb_irq_freeable to simplify the
logic in the network stack by freeing skbs as soon as possible and
making the buggy function zap_completion_queue in netpoll completely
pointless and thus unnecessary.
Eric W. Biederman (6):
netpoll: Remove gfp parameter from __netpoll_setup
netpoll: Only call ndo_start_xmit from a single place
netpoll: Don't allow on devices that perform their own xmit locking
netpoll: Move rx enable/disable into __dev_close_many
netpoll: Rename netpoll_rx_enable/disable to netpoll_poll_disable/enable
net: Free skbs from irqs when possible.
