[Suman] I can check the return type of open() and report in case of error. But even if we force NAPI poll we might not be able to control the watchdog reset. If we have a running traffic and interface is up, when we force NAPI poll, then the new packets will have updated scheduler queue and we will still loose the completion interrupts of the previous packets. Do you see any issue if I handle the error situation during open() call?
