EQ is getting armed wrongly in INTx mode as INTx interrupt is taking some time to deassert. This can cause another interrupt while NAPI is scheduled and scheduling a NAPI in interrupt does not take effect. This causes interrupt to be missed and traffic stalls. Fixing this by preventing wrong arming of EQ. Signed-off-by: Padmanabh Ratnakar <redacted> --- drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/benet/be_main.c | 4 +++- 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)
