Yes amongst the interrupt cause checks implemented in the msi interrupt handler
there is no interest in either E1000_ICR_RXDMT0 E1000_ICR_TXDW as events.
All that matters in this in this case is a softirq trigerring napi_schedule  . 
So we can stick
to E1000_ICS_RXDMT0 irrespective of the flag in the xsk wakeup function. 
Although
I must mention that all other usages of E1000_ICS_RXDMT0 in the kernel are in 
combination
with rx_ring so from the code perspective this usage looks strange to someone 
without deeper knowledge of the system.

Yes it sounds reasonable. However I would like to make some observations

If we want to implement proper usage of flags then I would move everything
related to a ring's internal checks inside the if case of the corresponding if 
case.
Use the correct adapter ring (rx or tx) to perform the checks.
Even though the functionality wise this code is correct why just randomly pick 
the tx  ring 
right at beginning of the function and do two checks with it? And same question 
would 
pop up to the reviewers mind for the igc driver where rx_ring is used. For me 
correct
usage is more important than saving some lines of code in the patch

I would like to know your view about the next steps. Would you like me to 
include the changes we discussed in next version of the patch I submitted? 
Or would you like to submit the patch you have prepared?

Vivek
