    net/mlx5e: Use kernel's mechanism to avoid missing NAPIs · 7b33aaea
    Tariq Toukan authored
    We used a channel state bit MLX5E_CHANNEL_NAPI_SCHED to make
    sure no NAPI is missed when a channel's napi_schedule() is called
    for completion events of the different channel's resources/rings
    while NAPI is currently running.
    Now, as similar mechanism is implemented in kernel,
    ("39e6c820 net: solve a NAPI race"),
    we obsolete our own implementation and rely on the return value
    of napi_complete_done().
    
    This patch removes a redundant overhead of atomic bit operations.
