Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/6] doc, net: Remove obsolete reference to dev->poll
Date: Fri, 6 Apr 2012 01:39:10 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1333672750.2652.25.camel@bwh-desktop.uk.solarflarecom.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <HEAD <1333672667.2652.22.camel@bwh-desktop.uk.solarflarecom.com>

Commit bea3348eef27e6044b6161fd04c3152215f96411 ('[NET]: Make NAPI
polling independent of struct net_device objects.') removed the
automatic disabling of NAPI polling by dev_close(), and drivers
must now do this themselves.

Not speaking for my employer; that's the marketing department's job.
They asked us to note that Solarflare product names are trademarked.
