-Subject: [PATCH] net: fix hangup on napi_disable for threaded napi
-
-napi_disable() is subject to an hangup, when the threaded
-mode is enabled and the napi is under heavy traffic.
-
-If the relevant napi has been scheduled and the napi_disable()
-kicks in before the next napi_threaded_wait() completes - so
-that the latter quits due to the napi_disable_pending() condition,
-the existing code leaves the NAPI_STATE_SCHED bit set and the
-napi_disable() loop waiting for such bit will hang.
-
-This patch addresses the issue by dropping the NAPI_STATE_DISABLE
-bit test in napi_thread_wait(). The later napi_threaded_poll()
-iteration will take care of clearing the NAPI_STATE_SCHED.
-
-This also addresses a related problem reported by Jakub:
-before this patch a napi_disable()/napi_enable() pair killed
-the napi thread, effectively disabling the threaded mode.
-On the patched kernel napi_disable() simply stops scheduling
-the relevant thread.
-
-v1 -> v2:
- - let the main napi_thread_poll() loop clear the SCHED bit
