netpoll: remove netpoll_srcu
netpoll_srcu is currently used from netpoll_poll_disable() and __netpoll_cleanup() Both functions run under RTNL, using netpoll_srcu adds confusion and no additional protection. Moreover the synchronize_srcu() call in __netpoll_cleanup() is performed before clearing np->dev->npinfo, which violates RCU rules. After this patch, netpoll_poll_disable() and netpoll_poll_enable() simply use rtnl_dereference(). This saves a big chunk of memory (more than 192KB on platforms with 512 cpus) Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Reviewed-by: Breno Leitao <leitao@debian.org> Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20240905084909.2082486-1-edumazet@google.comSigned-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
