[PATCH 3/9] netpoll: Warn if more packets are processed than are budgeted

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There is already a warning for this case in the normal netpoll path,
but put a copy here in case how netpoll calls the poll functions
causes a differenet result.

netpoll will shortly call the napi poll routine with a budget 0 to
avoid any rx packets being processed.  As nothing does that today
we may encounter drivers that have problems so a netpoll specific
warning seems desirable.
