Merge branch 'net-netpoll-remove-dead-code-and-speed-up-rtnl-locked-region'
Breno Leitao says:
====================
net: netpoll: remove dead code and speed up rtnl-locked region
This patchset introduces two minor modernizations to the netpoll
infrastructure:
The first patch removes the unused netpoll pointer from the netpoll_info
structure. This member is redundant and its presence does not benefit
multi-instance setups, as reported by Jay Vosburgh. Eliminating it cleans up
the structure and removes unnecessary code.
The second patch updates the netpoll resource cleanup routine to use
synchronize_net() instead of synchronize_rcu(). As __netpoll_free() is always
called under the RTNL lock, using synchronize_net() leverages the more
efficient synchronize_rcu_expedited() in these contexts, reducing time spent in
critical sections and improving performance.
Both changes simplify maintenance and enhance efficiency without altering
netpoll behavior.
