Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/3] net: napi: addition of napi_defer_hard_irqs

This patch series augments gro_glush_timeout feature with napi_defer_hard_irqs

As extensively described in first patch changelog, this can suppresss
the chit-chat traffic between NIC and host to signal interrupts and re-arming
them, since this can be an issue on high speed NIC with many queues.

The last patch in this series converts mlx4 TX completion to
napi_complete_done(), to enable this new mechanism.

Eric Dumazet (3):
  net: napi: add hard irqs deferral feature
  net: napi: use READ_ONCE()/WRITE_ONCE()
  net/mlx4_en: use napi_complete_done() in TX completion
