[PATCH] net/macb: fix race with RX interrupt while doing NAPI

From: Nicolas Ferre <hidden>
Date: 2013-02-12 10:08:53
Also in: linux-arm-kernel, lkml
Subsystem: atmel macb ethernet driver, networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Théo Lebrun, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

When interrupts are disabled, an RX condition can occur but
it is not reported when enabling interrupts again. We need to check
RSR and use napi_reschedule() if condition is met.
