[PATCH 225/510] staging: hv: add explanation of no-op set_multicast_list

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Brandon Philips <brandon@xxxxxxxx>

I was going to remove netvsc_set_multicast_list() so I think it is worth
adding a comment since it isn't immediately clear why you would want
this.
