netpoll: Fix RCU usage
The use of RCU in netpoll is incorrect in a number of places: 1) The initial setting is lacking a write barrier. 2) The synchronize_rcu is in the wrong place. 3) Read barriers are missing. 4) Some places are even missing rcu_read_lock. 5) npinfo is zeroed after freeing. This patch fixes those issues. As most users are in BH context, this also converts the RCU usage to the BH variant. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Acked-by: Paul E.
