Subject: netpoll: Add netpoll_tx_running
X-Git-Tag: v3.12-rc1~9497^2~583
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c18370f5b2949d9cca519355f33690b75e1e7c8b;p=kernel%2Fkernel-generic.git

netpoll: Add netpoll_tx_running

This patch adds the helper netpoll_tx_running for use within
ndo_start_xmit.  It returns non-zero if ndo_start_xmit is being
invoked by netpoll, and zero otherwise.

This is currently implemented by simply looking at the hardirq
count.  This is because for all non-netpoll uses of ndo_start_xmit,
IRQs must be enabled while netpoll always disables IRQs before
calling ndo_start_xmit.
