There are netpoll users (admittedly, out of tree) that make use of packet receive. kdump is one. That's what all of the __netpoll_rx() et al. stuff is for. Therefore we'll probably just have to enforce that if a netpoll user wants RX packets, he has to invoke netpoll from a reasonable context. But if we're called from hardware interrupts, yes we block RX processing. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
