The patch below is what I'll check in to fix this, thanks. As for the r8169 side, that case is much more complicated to fix. That driver messes with the interrupt masking before the NAPI schedule check, instead of after it's sure that NAPI isn't already scheduled like b44 does. Therefore we might need to undo that programming or move it into the code block where __napi_schedule() is actually invoked. I'll queue this b44 patch up for -stable too. b44: Fix wedge when using netconsole. Fixes kernel bugzilla #14691 Due to the way netpoll works, it is perfectly legal to see NAPI already scheduled when new device events are pending in b44_interrupt(). So logging a message about it is wrong and in fact harmful. Based upon a patch by Andreas Mohr. Signed-off-by: David S.
