The patch titled netpoll: revert two bogus cleanups that broke netconsole has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was netpoll-revert-two-bogus-cleanups-that-broke-netconsole.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/ ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: netpoll: revert two bogus cleanups that broke netconsole From: David Miller <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Based upon a report by Andrew Morton and code analysis done by Jarek Poplawski. This reverts 33f807ba0d9259e7c75c7a2ce8bd2787e5b540c7 ("[NETPOLL]: Kill NETPOLL_RX_DROP, set but never tested.") and c7b6ea24b43afb5749cb704e143df19d70e23dea ("[NETPOLL]: Don't need rx_flags."). The rx_flags did get tested for zero vs. non-zero and therefore we do need those tests and that code which sets NETPOLL_RX_DROP et al. Signed-off-by: David S.
