ftgmac100: Rework NAPI & interrupts handling
First, don't look at the interrupt status in the poll loop to decide what to poll. It's wrong. If we have run out of budget, we may still have RX packets to unqueue but no more RX interrupt pending. So instead move the code looking at the interrupt status into the interrupt handler where it belongs. That avoids a slow MMIO read in the NAPI fast path. We keep the abnormal interrupts enabled while NAPI is scheduled. While at it, actually do something useful in the "error" cases: On AHB bus error, trigger the new reset task, that's about all we can do. On RX packet fifo or descriptor overflows, we need to restart the MAC after having freed things up. So set a flag that NAPI will see and use to perform that restart after harvesting the RX ring. Finally, we shouldn't complete NAPI if there are still outgoing packets that will need harvesting. Waiting for more interrupts is less efficient than letting NAPI run a while longer while the queue drains. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
