Because currently we check netpoll support by ->ndo_poll_controller, for example, tap driver doesn't have ->ndo_poll_controller now, if I choose the target "@192.168.0.2/br0" where "192.168.0.2" is owned by "tap0" which is managed by "br0", netconsole may not work. > > I told you in another mail that we should do away with > these callbacks and all the crazy 'npinfo' assignments > and just do it in the generic code. I think ->ndo_poll_controller is not in the case that you talked about.
