Subject: bridge: Partially disable netpoll support
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.35-rc6~15^2
X-Git-Url: http://bbs.cooldavid.org/git/?p=net-next-2.6.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=573201f36fd9c7c6d5218cdcd9948cee700b277d

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.
