You can either extend the refill function by one gfp_t parameter and then call it
with GFP_KERNEL for the initial rx buffer allocation when the hw is brought up and
then with GFP_ATOMIC for refilling in the NAPI handler. Or simply always use GFP_ATOMIC.
In the latter case the additional parameter is not needed of course and you can
use netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() instead of __netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align().
I will change this to use netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align().

Thanks.
