Subject: [PATCH net-next 8/9] netconsole: move local_ip/remote_ip/ipv6 to netconsole_target
Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2026 08:04:16 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260724-netconsole_move_more_final-v1-8-a5f7691db81c@debian.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260724-netconsole_move_more_final-v1-0-a5f7691db81c@debian.org>
With netpoll_setup() and the packet-building path now living in
netconsole, local_ip, remote_ip and ipv6 in struct netpoll are read
and written only by netconsole. No other netpoll user touches them.
Move the three fields into netconsole_target and switch the packet
builders and setup helpers to take the target instead of the netpoll
handle. struct netpoll is left holding only the device-binding state
that the shared netpoll transport needs.
