Breno Leitao says: ==================== netpoll: Code organization improvements The netpoll_setup() function has grown complex over time, mixing different error handling and concerns like carrier waiting, IPv4 address retrieval, and IPv6 address retrieval all within a single function, which is huge (127 LoC). This patch series refactors the netpoll_setup() function to improve code organization and readability by extracting logical blocks into dedicated helper functions. netpoll_setup() length is reduced to 72 LoC. This series breaks down these responsibilities into focused helper functions. The changes are purely structural with no functional modifications. This changes were tested with the netconsole tests and the netpoll selftest (WIP)[1] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/20250612-netpoll_test-v1-1-4774fd95933f@debian.org [1] ==================== Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20250618-netpoll_ip_ref-v1-0-c2ac00fe558f@debian.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
