> Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH net 1/3] igb: check __IGB_DOWN in
> igb_clean_rx_irq_zc()
> 
> When an AF_XDP zero-copy application terminates abruptly (e.g., kill -
> 9), the XSK buffer pool is destroyed but NAPI polling continues.
> igb_clean_rx_irq_zc() repeatedly returns the full budget (no
> descriptors, no buffers to allocate, xsk_buff_alloc() returns NULL)
> which makes napi_complete_done() re-arm the poll indefinitely.
> 
> Meanwhile igb_down() calls napi_synchronize(), which waits for a NAPI
> poll cycle that completes with done < budget. This never happens, so
> igb_down() blocks indefinitely. The 5-second TX watchdog fires because
> no TX completions are processed while NAPI is stuck. Since igb_down()
> never finishes, igb_up() is never called, and the TX queue remains
> permanently stalled.
> 
> Fix this by adding an __IGB_DOWN check at the top of
> igb_clean_rx_irq_zc(), returning 0 immediately when the adapter is
> going down. This allows napi_synchronize() in igb_down() to complete,
> matching the pattern already used in igb_clean_tx_irq().
