bnxt_en: Fix TX timeout during netpoll.
The current netpoll implementation in the bnxt_en driver has problems that may miss TX completion events. bnxt_poll_work() in effect is only handling at most 1 TX packet before exiting. In addition, there may be in flight TX completions that ->poll() may miss even after we fix bnxt_poll_work() to handle all visible TX completions. netpoll may not call ->poll() again and HW may not generate IRQ because the driver does not ARM the IRQ when the budget (0 for netpoll) is reached. We fix it by handling all TX completions and to always ARM the IRQ when we exit ->poll() with 0 budget. Also, the logic to ACK the completion ring in case it is almost filled with TX completions need to be adjusted to take care of the 0 budget case, as discussed with Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Reported-by: Song Liu <songliubraving@fb.com> Reviewed-by: Song Liu <songliubraving@fb.com> Tested-by: Song Liu <songliubraving@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Chan <michael.chan@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
