Subject:  [PATCH v2 0/6] netpoll: Cleanups and fixes


This should be a small set of safe cleanups and fixes to netpoll.

The fixes are vlan headers are now always inserted when needed, and
napi polling is always avoided when network devices are closed.

There are a bunch of little cleanups removing unnecessary code, fixing
function naming, not taking unnecessary locks and removing general
silliness.

Eric W. Biederman (6):
      netpoll: Remove gfp parameter from __netpoll_setup
      netpoll: Only call ndo_start_xmit from a single place
      netpoll: Move rx enable/disable into __dev_close_many
      netpoll: Rename netpoll_rx_enable/disable to netpoll_poll_disable/enable
      netpoll: Remove strong unnecessary assumptions about skbs
      netpoll: Respect NETIF_F_LLTX
