bridge: Fix netpoll support
There are multiple problems with the newly added netpoll support: 1) Use-after-free on each netpoll packet. 2) Invoking unsafe code on netpoll/IRQ path. 3) Breaks when netpoll is enabled on the underlying device. This patch fixes all of these problems. In particular, we now allocate proper netpoll structures for each underlying device. We only allow netpoll to be enabled on the bridge when all the devices underneath it support netpoll. Once it is enabled, we do not allow non-netpoll devices to join the bridge (until netpoll is disabled again). This allows us to do away with the npinfo juggling that caused problem number 1. Incidentally this patch fixes number 2 by bypassing unsafe code such as multicast snooping and netfilter. Reported-by:Qianfeng Zhang <frzhang@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:
