Subject: [PATCH net-next v10 4/7] netconsole: clear dev_name for devices bound by mac
Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2026 09:40:55 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260112-netcons-retrigger-v10-4-d82ebfc2503e@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260112-netcons-retrigger-v10-0-d82ebfc2503e@gmail.com>
This patch makes sure netconsole clears dev_name for devices bound by mac
in order to allow calling setup_netpoll on targets that have previously
been cleaned up (in order to support resuming deactivated targets).
This is required as netpoll_setup populates dev_name even when devices are
matched via mac address. The cleanup is done inside netconsole as bound
by mac is a netconsole concept.
