[PATCH net-next v2 1/3] net: stmmac: Fix NAPI poll in TX path when in multi-queue

From: Jose Abreu
Date: Mon Feb 18 2019 - 03:50:11 EST


Commit 8fce33317023 introduced the concept of NAPI per-channel and
independent cleaning of TX path.

This is currently breaking performance in some cases. The scenario
happens when all packets are being received in Queue 0 but the TX is
performed in Queue != 0.

Fix this by using different NAPI instances per each TX and RX queue, as
suggested by Florian.

Changes from v1:
- Pass entire ring size to TX clean path (Florian)
