Why? So you can't refill rq[1] and then be interrupted and process NAPI
for rq[0]?
But as I said. If lockdep saw the lock in acquired in softirq (what it
did) _and_ in process context (what it did as well) _once_ then this is
enough evidence for the warning.
If you claim that this can not happen due to NAPI guard [0] then this is
something lockdep does not know about.
[0] which I currently don't understand and therefore sent the patch [1]
as Jason pointed out that in the ->ndo_open case the work is
scheduled and then NAPI is enabled (which means the worker could
disable NAPI and refill but before it finishes, ->ndo_open would
continue and enable NAPI)).
