From d8ea6a91ad70ae0881d76446df27d3f58fd478c3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2018 15:27:49 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] bnx2x: remove ndo_poll_controller As diagnosed by Song Liu, ndo_poll_controller() can be very dangerous on loaded hosts, since the cpu calling ndo_poll_controller() might steal all NAPI contexts (for all RX/TX queues of the NIC). This capture can last for unlimited amount of time, since one cpu is generally not able to drain all the queues under load. bnx2x uses NAPI for TX completions, so we better let core networking stack call the napi->poll() to avoid the capture.
