Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 8/8] netconsole: move remote_mac from struct netpoll to netconsole_target
Date: Thu, 02 Jul 2026 05:19:52 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260702-netconsole_move_more-v2-8-1ebedd921dcb@debian.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260702-netconsole_move_more-v2-0-1ebedd921dcb@debian.org>
The destination ethernet address is netconsole configuration: no other
netpoll user (bonding, team, vlan, bridge, macvlan, dsa) references
np->remote_mac, only netconsole's ethernet framing and its
configfs/cmdline interface do.
Move it into struct netconsole_target and convert push_eth() to take the
netconsole_target; netconsole_print_banner() and
netconsole_parser_cmdline() already take it. The configfs show/store
handlers and alloc_and_init() reach the field directly.
No functional change; the remote_mac sysfs attribute is unchanged.
