From: Alexander Duyck <redacted> This change is meant to make the NAPI budget limits for transmit adjustable. By doing this it is possible to tune the value for optimal performance with applications such as routing.

As Ben and I have mentioned, this change is not acceptable. Ethtool settings for "hardware interrupt" coalescing and mitigation should have no effect on NAPI behavior.
