[PATCH net v2 1/4] octeon_ep: Relocate counter updates before NAPI

From: Vimlesh Kumar

Date: Fri Feb 27 2026 - 04:18:42 EST


Relocate IQ/OQ IN/OUT_CNTS updates to occur before NAPI completion,
and replace napi_complete with napi_complete_done.

Moving the IQ/OQ counter updates before napi_complete_done ensures
1. Counter registers are updated before re-enabling interrupts.
2. Prevents a race where new packets arrive but counters aren't properly
synchronized.
napi_complete_done (vs napi_complete) allows for better
interrupt coalescing.

Fixes: 37d79d0596062 ("octeon_ep: add Tx/Rx processing and interrupt support")
