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.
For each interrupt only one napi will be scheduled, when the first interface is down then only second interface napi is scheduled in both tx and rx irqs. Regards Mugunthan V N
