I noticed there's a misnumbering issue in the code.

Note the output from the first patch:

[{'id': 149, 'ifindex': 2, 'irq': 335},
 {'id': 148, 'ifindex': 2, 'irq': 334},
 {'id': 147, 'ifindex': 2, 'irq': 333},
 {'id': 146, 'ifindex': 2, 'irq': 332},
 {'id': 145, 'ifindex': 2, 'irq': 331}]

Note the output in the commit message above:

 [{'id': 0, 'ifindex': 2, 'type': 'rx'},
  {'id': 1, 'ifindex': 2, 'napi-id': 146, 'type': 'rx'},
  {'id': 2, 'ifindex': 2, 'napi-id': 147, 'type': 'rx'},
  {'id': 3, 'ifindex': 2, 'napi-id': 148, 'type': 'rx'},
  {'id': 0, 'ifindex': 2, 'napi-id': 145, 'type': 'tx'}]

Note that id 0 type: 'rx' has no napi-id associated with it, and in
the second block, NAPI ID 149 is nowhere to be found.

This is happening because the code in the driver does this:

  for (i = 0; i < tp->irq_cnt; i++) {
          tnapi = &tp->napi[i];
          napi_enable(&tnapi->napi);
          if (tnapi->tx_buffers)
                netif_queue_set_napi(tp->dev, i, NETDEV_QUEUE_TYPE_TX,
                                     &tnapi->napi);

The code I added assumed that i is the txq or rxq index, but it's
not - it's the index into the array of struct tg3_napi.

Corrected, the code looks like something like this:

  int txq_idx = 0, rxq_idx = 0;
  [...]

  for (i = 0; i < tp->irq_cnt; i++) {
          tnapi = &tp->napi[i];
          napi_enable(&tnapi->napi);
          if (tnapi->tx_buffers) {
                netif_queue_set_napi(tp->dev, txq_idx, NETDEV_QUEUE_TYPE_TX,
                                     &tnapi->napi);
                txq_idx++ 
          } else if (tnapi->rx_rcb) {
                 netif_queue_set_napi(tp->dev, rxq_idx, NETDEV_QUEUE_TYPE_RX,
                                      &tnapi->napi);
                 rxq_idx++;
          [...]

I tested that and the output looks correct to me. However, what to
do about tg3_napi_disable ?

Probably something like this (txq only for brevity):

  int txq_idx = tp->txq_cnt - 1;
  [...]

  for (i = tp->irq_cnt - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
    [...]
    if (tnapi->tx_buffers) {
        netif_queue_set_napi(tp->dev, txq_idx, NETDEV_QUEUE_TYPE_TX,
                             NULL);
        txq_idx--;
    }
    [...]

Does that seem correct to you? I wanted to ask before sending
another revision, since I am not a tg3 expert.

I will of course remove your Reviewed-by from this patch (but leave
it on patch 1 which is unmodified) when I resend it.
