From d91649f5b719cd9d69206af7b3c4b4f6645e3b1e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesse Brandeburg Date: Wed, 7 Jan 2015 02:55:01 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] i40e: fix un-necessary Tx hangs When the driver was polling with interrupts disabled the hardware will occasionally not write back descriptors. This patch causes the driver to detect this situation and force an interrupt to fire which will flush the stuck descriptor. Does not conflict with napi because if we are already polling the napi_schedule is ignored. Additionally the extra interrupts are rate limited, so don't cause a burden to the CPU.
