[PATCH 0/7] net: replace global NetRxPackets arrays with per-interface allocation

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

 



Drivers using NetRxPackets can't be combined into the same barebox build
without clobbering each other when receiving packets. Even having the
same driver twice would lead to issues.

We certainly don't want to encourage new network drivers to use this
global array, so let's just get rid of it.
