Message-ID: <20230509225123.11401-1-ziweixiao@google.com> Date: Tue, 9 May 2023 15:51:23 -0700 From: Ziwei Xiao <ziweixiao@...gle.com> To: netdev@...r.kernel.org Cc: davem@...emloft.net, kuba@...nel.org, Ziwei Xiao <ziweixiao@...gle.com>, Bailey Forrest <bcf@...gle.com> Subject: [PATCH net] gve: Remove the code of clearing PBA bit Clearing the PBA bit from the driver is race prone and it may lead to dropped interrupt events. This could potentially lead to the traffic being completely halted.
