From d8156534040996f6a93a24d3592d5d587f2587e5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Duyck Date: Tue, 8 Jul 2008 15:13:05 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net: add netif_napi_del function to allow for removal of napistructs Adds netif_napi_del function which is used to remove the napi struct from the netdev napi_list in cases where CONFIG_NETPOLL was enabled. The motivation for adding this is to handle the case in which the number of queues on a device changes due to a configuration change. Previously the napi structs for each queue would be left in the list until the netdev was freed.
