[NETPOLL]: allow multiple netpoll_clients to register against one interface
This patch provides support for registering multiple netpoll clients to the same network device. Only one of these clients may register an rx_hook, however. In practice, this restriction has not been problematic. It is worth mentioning, though, that the current design can be easily extended to allow for the registration of multiple rx_hooks. The basic idea of the patch is that the rx_np pointer in the netpoll_info structure points to the struct netpoll that has rx_hook filled in. Aside from this one case, there is no need for a pointer from the struct net_device to an individual struct netpoll. A lock is introduced to protect the setting and clearing of the np_rx pointer. The pointer will only be cleared upon netpoll client module removal, and the lock should be uncontested. Signed-off-by: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
