Hi Calvin,

Basically all CQs on the same channel are sharing the same napi, so
here you will end up calling napi_schedule more than once for each
napi (channel).
iterating over the SQs map is irrelevant here, all you need to do is
to iterate over the channels:

 for (i = 0; i < priv->params.num_channels; i++)
        napi_schedule(priv->channel[i]->napi);


Thanks,
Saeed.
