Merge branch 'sunvnet-napi'
Sowmini Varadhan says: ==================== sunvnet: NAPIfy sunvnet This patchset converts the sunvnet driver to use the NAPI framework. Changes since v4 to Patch1: vnet_event accumulates LDC_EVENT_* bits into rx_event. vnet_event_napi() unrolls send_events() logic to process all rx_event bits. Changes since v5: Patch 1: use net_device.h definition for NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT. Drop sparclinux changes (patch3) per David Miller feedback Patch 1 in the series addresses the packet-receive path- all the vnet_event() processing is moved into NAPI context. This patch is dependant on the sparc-next commit: "sparc64: Add vio_set_intr() to enable/disable Rx interrupts" (sparc commit id ca605b7d) Patch 2 uses RCU to fix race conditions between vnet_port_remove and paths that access/modify port-related state, such as vnet_start_xmit. Patch 3 leverages from the NAPIfied Rx path, dropping superfluous usage of the irqsave/irqrestores on the vio.lock where possible. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
