-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. --------------------- From: Ben Hutchings upstream commit: 718cff1eec595ce6ab0635b8160a51ee37d9268d sfc could call netif_napi_add() multiple times for the same napi_struct, corrupting the list of napi_structs for the associated device and leading to a busy-loop on device removal. Move the call to netif_napi_add() and add a call to netif_napi_del() in the obvious places. [bhutchings: backport to 2.6.29] Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings Signed-off-by: Chris Wright --- We didn't spot this earlier because only netpoll would look at the list, but this changed with the addition of GRO in 2.6.29. I have no excuse for not catching it during the .29 release cycle though.
