> Also have regression after apply patch.

BTW, if you are using the e1000e driver then this initial
patch will not work.

My more recent patch posting for this problem, will.

I include it again below for you:

[NET]: Fix TX timeout regression in Intel drivers.

This fixes a regression added by changeset
53e52c729cc169db82a6105fac7a166e10c2ec36 ("[NET]: Make ->poll()
breakout consistent in Intel ethernet drivers.")

As pointed out by Jesse Brandeburg, for three of the drivers edited
above there is breakout logic in the *_clean_tx_irq() code to prevent
running TX reclaim forever.  If this occurs, we have to elide NAPI
poll completion or else those TX events will never be serviced.
