This patch can't be applied, sorry. netpoll_rx() should be invokable from hardware interrupt context. What is the crash you are seeing? It looks like perhaps the kfree_skb() calls need to be modified in __netpoll_rx(). Stephen? Maybe this is a result of that set of cleanups you did to the netpoll code? It wouldn't surprise me :) - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
