The patch titled
forcedeth: improve NAPI logic
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
forcedeth-improve-napi-logic.patch
This patch was dropped because an updated version will be merged
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: forcedeth: improve NAPI logic
From: Ingo Molnar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Another forcedeth.c thing: i noticed that its NAPI handler does not do
tx-ring processing. The patch below implements this - tested on DESC_VER_2
hardware, with CONFIG_FORCEDETH_NAPI=y.

Auke said:
the patch needs to be improved.
The following needs to be done when NAPI is enabled:
- remove the tx handling within the ISRs
- mask off the tx interrupts within the ISRs that handle tx processing
- re-enable tx interrupts within the NAPI handler
- add tx handling within the NAPI handler (this patch covers it)
