[PATCH net-next 0/2] Don't receive packets when the napi budget == 0

From: Eric W. Biederman <hidden>
Date: 2014-03-11 21:30:18

To the best of understanding processing any received packets when the
napi budget == 0 is broken driver behavior.  At the same time I don't
think we have ever cared before so there are a handful of drivers that
need fixes.

I care now as I will shortly be using htis in netpoll to get the
tx queue processing without the rx queue processing.

Drivers that need fixes are few and far between, and so far I have only
found two of them.  More similar patches later if I find more drivers
that need fixes.
