So what's the plan with the iflib watchdog? If it's not going to be
fixed, should it just be removed entirely? I don't think that's a
great idea but I remember that the Intel watchdogs got a lot of
rototilling to try and get them right so I'm nervous about going in
and just trying to reimplement
We hit the bug of the watchdog firing on idle NICs and were working on
merging r356310 into our tree when we noticed the problem through code
inspection. I don't think that it's really a bug with r356310, just a
latent one that has become exposed.

I'll add Piotr, the author of your linked patch, to this thread.
Are you seeing a problem connected to the watchdog? Piotr tells me that
IFLIB_QUEUE_WORKING isn't used now, but it wasn't even used before his
patch.
