[PATCH 0/8] Implement NAPI in et131x

From: Mark Einon
Date: Wed Aug 20 2014 - 18:18:14 EST


Let's put a NAPI on this baby...

NAPI support was identified by Dave Miller <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> as a
must to get this driver out of staging. This patchset first tidies up
the code enough to make adding NAPI easier, and the final patch mostly
adds the 'boilerplate' NAPI code as described by:

http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/napi

The code has been tested on hardware, with no issues found to date.

**GregKH** - this patchset is based upon my previous bugfix 'Fix errors
caused by phydev->addr accesses' which is currently only on your
staging-linus branch, not staging-next - so won't apply cleanly in it's
current state. Please let me know if I need to do anything about this.

Cheers,

Mark
