From 573201f36fd9c7c6d5218cdcd9948cee700b277d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Herbert Xu Date: Mon, 19 Jul 2010 19:26:45 +0000 Subject: bridge: Partially disable netpoll support The new netpoll code in bridging contains use-after-free bugs that are non-trivial to fix. This patch fixes this by removing the code that uses skbs after they're freed. As a consequence, this means that we can no longer call bridge from the netpoll path, so this patch also removes the controller function in order to disable netpoll.
