From 9e89d71911b6b312b06b654caa7c0c95197fecb1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heiner Kallweit Date: Wed, 19 Aug 2020 13:03:13 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] r8169: remove member irq_enabled from struct rtl8169_private After making use of the gro_flush_timeout attribute I once got a tx timeout due to an interrupt that wasn't handled. Seems using irq_enabled can be racy, and it's not needed any longer anyway, so remove it. I've never seen a report about such a race before, therefore treat the change as an improvement. There's just one small drawback: If a legacy PCI interrupt is used, and if this interrupt is shared with a device with high interrupt rate, then we may handle interrupts even if NAPI disabled them, and we may see a certain performance decrease under high network load.
