Subject: [PATCH 2/5] netpoll: cleanup queued transmit
Date: Mon, 23 Oct 2006 12:02:59 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061023120259.50d3f2e0@dxpl.pdx.osdl.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20061023115111.0d69846e@dxpl.pdx.osdl.net>

This patch changes the queued transmit path of netpoll, to
use similar logic to the non-queued path. We don't want netpoll
messages going into NIT and network qdisc logic.

Signed-off-by: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org>
