Subject: [PATCH 2/8] netpoll info leak

From: Stephen Hemminger <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2006 15:46:50 -0700

After looking harder, Steve noticed that the netpoll
beast leaked a little every time it shutdown for a nap.
Not a big leak, but a nuisance kind of thing.

He took out his refcount duct tape and patched the
leak. It was overkill since there was already other
locking in that area, but it looked clean and wouldn't
attract fleas.
