[PATCH net-next] altera_tse: Fixes in NAPI and interrupt handling paths

From: Vince Bridgers
Date: Mon Feb 23 2015 - 16:51:01 EST


From: Vlastimil Setka <setka@xxxxxxx>

Incorrect NAPI polling caused WARNING at net/core/dev.c net_rx_action.
Some stability issues were also seen at high throughput and system
load before this patch.

This patch contains several changes in altera_tse_main.c:

- tse_rx() is fixed to not process more than `limit` frames

- tse_poll() is refactored to match NAPI logic
- only received frames are counted for return value
- removed bogus condition `(rxcomplete >= budget || txcomplete > 0)`
- replace by: if (rxcomplete < budget) -> call __napi_complete and enable irq

- altera_isr()
- replace spin_lock_irqsave() by spin_lock() - we are in isr
- use spinlocks just over irq manipulation, not over __napi_schedule
- reset IRQ first, then disable and schedule napi

This is a cleaned up resubmission from Vlastimil's recent submission.
