Subject: [PATCH] drivers: net: xen-netfront: remove unused arrays

This patch removes some unused arrays from the netfront
private data structure.
Also removes an unused address variable.

Hello,
I don't see the point in having those unused arrays in the private
structure.

Sorry if I'm missing something.

Cheers,
Vincenzo

Huh. I wonder what they were for.

Acked-by: David Vrabel <[email protected]>

For net related patches please say whether they're for the net (current
RCs) or net-next branch. e.g.,

[PATCH net-next] xen-netfront: removed unused arrays.

Thanks.

Ok, thanks.

I used linux-next
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git
but I don't really know what is the most appropriate.
(I guess git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net.git is "net"?)

Looks like they were leftovers from the old flipping mode of operation.
Which was removed with:
commit 5dcddfae63bd26da0f11a8e40f0ae555b5ac624e

xen-netfront: remove dead code

Which missed these bits.
