    s390/qeth: invoke softirqs after napi_schedule() · 4d19db77
    Julian Wiedmann authored
    Calling napi_schedule() from process context does not ensure that the
    NET_RX softirq is run in a timely fashion. So trigger it manually.
    
    This is no big issue with current code. A call to ndo_open() is usually
    followed by a ndo_set_rx_mode() call, and for qeth this contains a
    spin_unlock_bh(). Except for OSN, where qeth_l2_set_rx_mode() bails out
    early.
    Nevertheless it's best to not depend on this behaviour, and just fix
    the issue at its source like all other drivers do. For instance see
    commit 83a0c6e5 ("i40e: Invoke softirqs after napi_reschedule").
