From b6bacd550c33124ea76291bd84ac42c8d30767eb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2014 20:48:28 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] netpoll: Don't drop all received packets. Change the strategy of netpoll from dropping all packets received during netpoll_poll_dev to calling napi poll with a budget of 0 (to avoid processing drivers rx queue), and to ignore packets received with netif_rx (those will safely be placed on the backlog queue). All of the netpoll supporting drivers have been reviewed to ensure either thay use netif_rx or that a budget of 0 is supported by their napi poll routine and that a budget of 0 will not process the drivers rx queues. Not dropping packets makes NETPOLL_RX_DROP unnecesary so it is removed. npinfo->rx_flags is removed as rx_flags with just the NETPOLL_RX_ENABLED flag becomes just a redundant mirror of list_empty(&npinfo->rx_np).
