Re: [PATCH net-queue 1/3] Partial revert "e1000e: Avoid receiver overrun interrupt bursts"

[Benjamin Poirier]

I forgot to mark it as such but this is v2 of the series originally
submitted in this thread:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/1/26/93

Changes since v1:
* series rebased to apply over "e1000e: Remove Other from EIAC."
  http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/867833/
  This essentially removes patch 3/3 from the original series.
* dropped [PATCH 2/3] Revert "e1000e: Separate signaling for link
  check/link up". After Alex's feedback, I think that problem needs to
  be addressed differently and I will submit a separate patch for it.
* patch 1 was split into three parts. Instead of manually clearing OTHER
  via a write to icr as in v1, in v2 we make sure that INT_ASSERTED is
  always set via bits for all events related to the Other interrupt in
  IMS.

Benjamin Poirier (3):
  Partial revert "e1000e: Avoid receiver overrun interrupt bursts"
  e1000e: Fix queue interrupt re-raising in Other interrupt.
  e1000e: Avoid missed interrupts following ICR read.
