The netpoll packet receive code only becomes active if the netpoll rx_skb_hook is implemented, and there is not a single implementation of the netpoll rx_skb_hook in the kernel. All of the out of tree implementations I have found all call netpoll_poll which was removed from the kernel in 2011, so this change should not add any additional breakage. There are problems with the netpoll packet receive code. __netpoll_rx does not call dev_kfree_skb_irq or dev_kfree_skb_any in hard irq context. netpoll_neigh_reply leaks every skb it receives. Reception of packets does not work successfully on stacked devices (aka bonding, team, bridge, and vlans). Given that the netpoll packet receive code is buggy, there are no out of tree users that will be merged soon, and the code has not been used for in tree for a decade let's just remove it. Reverting this commit can server as a starting point for anyone who wants to resurrect netpoll packet reception support. Acked-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

You can say N here if you don't intend to connect your Linux box to
|
|
any other computer at all.

You'll have to say Y if your computer contains a network card that
|

you want to use under Linux. If you are going to run SLIP or PPP over

telephone line or null modem cable you need say Y here. Connecting

two machines with parallel ports using PLIP needs this, as well as

AX.25/KISS for sending Internet traffic over amateur radio links.
