[PATCH stable v4.14 2/2] net: stmmac: don't stop NAPI processing when dropping a packet

From: Aviraj CJ
Date: Wed Dec 18 2019 - 08:18:23 EST


upstream 07b3975352374c3f5ebb4a42ef0b253fe370542d commit

Currently, if we drop a packet, we exit from NAPI loop before the budget
is consumed. In some situations this will make the RX processing stall
e.g. when flood pinging the system with oversized packets, as the
errorneous packets are not dropped efficiently.

If we drop a packet, we should just continue to the next one as long as
the budget allows.
