...or maybe apparently doesn't do anything?

@@ -128,13 +127,11 @@ static int poll_one_napi(struct netpoll_info *npinfo,
if (!test_bit(NAPI_STATE_SCHED, &napi->state))
return budget;

- npinfo->rx_flags |= NETPOLL_RX_DROP;


But in a next patch we can see:

@@ -51,12 +50,12 @@ static inline int netpoll_rx(struct sk_buff *skb)
unsigned long flags;
int ret = 0;

- if (!npinfo || (!npinfo->rx_np && !npinfo->rx_flags))
+ if (!npinfo || !npinfo->rx_np)

So, it seems rx_flags could have been tested here for NETPOLL_RX_DROP
yet?

Jarek P.
