In addition to associated runtime overhead, it > also results in a continuous softirq loop when the interface is > brought down under heavy traffic(tested wit Traffic Generator). > Once the interface is disabled, the poll function always returns > zero(with the check for netif_running) and napi_complete() would > never get called resulting in softirq loop. > > Signed-off-by: Sriramakrishnan <srk@...com> > Acked-by: Chaithrika U S <chaithrika@...com> Applied to net-2.6 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
