When first interface is down and second interface is active then napi_schedule for first interface will fail and second interface napi needs to be scheduled. So I don't think netif_running needs to be removed.
Each interface has its own napi tx (resp. rx) context: I would had expected two unconditional napi_schedule per tx (resp. rx) shared irq, not one. I'll read it again after some sleep. -- Ueimor
