When we add the generic napi_disable_pending() breakout logic to net_rx_action() it means that napi_disable() can cause NAPI poll interrupt events to be disabled. And this is exactly what we want. If a napi_disable() is pending, and we are looping in the ->poll(), we want ->poll() event interrupts to stay disabled and we want to complete the NAPI poll ASAP. When ->poll() break out during device down was being handled on a per-driver basis, often these drivers would turn interrupts back on when '!netif_running()' was detected. And this would just cause a reschedule of the NAPI ->poll() in the interrupt handler before the napi_disable() could get in there and grab the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit. The vast majority of drivers don't care if napi_disable() might have the side effect of disabling NAPI ->poll() event interrupts. In all such cases, when a napi_disable() is performed, the driver just disabled interrupts or is about to. However there were three exceptions to this in PCNET32, R8169, and SKY2. To fix those cases, at the subsequent napi_enable() points, I added code to ensure that the ->poll() interrupt events are enabled in the hardware. Signed-off-by: David S.
