If netpoll scavenges between napi_schedule_prep and lp->rx_irq_disabled++
on a different CPU, bfin_mac_interrupt may later __napi_schedule while
already napi_completed in netpoll...bfin_mac_poll(): bfin_mac_poll won't
be run in net_rx_action and IRQ_MAC_RX will stay disabled.

I don't know if something on the blackfin arch prevents the window to
widen and makes it moot.

As the bfin_mac driver requests the single non shared IRQ_MAC_RX irq,
couldn't we instead:

static irqreturn_t bfin_mac_interrupt(int irq, void *dev_id)
[...]
	if (status & DMA_DONE) {
		disable_irq_nosync(IRQ_MAC_RX);
		/* Code won't return here until a scheduled poll enables irq. */
		set_bit(BFIN_IRQ_DISABLED, &lp->flags);
		napi_schedule(&lp->napi);
	}

static int bfin_mac_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget)
[...]
	if (i < budget) {
		napi_complete(napi);
		if (test_and_clear_bit(BFIN_IRQ_DISABLED, &lp->flags))
			enable_irq(IRQ_MAC_RX);
	}

Comments ?
