I think the easiest way is to modify the tg3_rx() calling condition
like below inside
tg3_poll_work() :
if (*(tnapi->rx_rcb_prod_idx) != tnapi->rx_rcb_ptr) {
if (tnapi != &tp->napi[1] || (tnapi == &tp->napi[1] &&
!tp->rx_refill)) {
work_done += tg3_rx(tnapi, budget - work_done);
}
}
This will prevent reading rx packets when napi[1] is scheduled only for refill.
Can you see if this works?
