...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)

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