Are you sure?

netpoll.h:

void netpoll_send_skb_on_dev(struct netpoll *np, struct sk_buff *skb,
			     struct net_device *dev);
static inline void netpoll_send_skb(struct netpoll *np, struct sk_buff *skb)
{
	netpoll_send_skb_on_dev(np, skb, np->dev);
}

$ grep -rP --include=*.[ch] -w netpoll_send_skb *
drivers/net/bonding/bonding.h:		netpoll_send_skb(np, skb);
include/linux/netpoll.h:static inline void netpoll_send_skb(struct netpoll *np, struct sk_buff *skb)
net/bridge/br_private.h:		netpoll_send_skb(np, skb);
net/core/netpoll.c:			"netpoll_send_skb(): %s enabled interrupts in poll (%pF)\n",
net/core/netpoll.c:	netpoll_send_skb(np, skb);
net/core/netpoll.c:		netpoll_send_skb(np, send_skb);

from bonding.h

#ifdef CONFIG_NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
static inline void bond_netpoll_send_skb(const struct slave *slave,
					 struct sk_buff *skb)
{
	struct netpoll *np = slave->np;

	if (np)
		netpoll_send_skb(np, skb);
}

and br_private.h

static inline void br_netpoll_send_skb(const struct net_bridge_port *p,
				       struct sk_buff *skb)
{
	struct netpoll *np = p->np;

	if (np)
		netpoll_send_skb(np, skb);
}

These are inlined and dependent on CONFIG_NET_POLL_CONTROLLER
in drivers/net/Kconfig so doesn't netpoll_send_skb_on_dev need
to be SYMBOL_EXPORTed?

cheers, Joe
