Set scan_threshold = 0 to opt out from the qdio layer's internal tasklet & timer mechanism for TX completions, and replace it with the TX NAPI infrastructure that qeth already uses for IQD devices. This avoids the fragile logic in qdio_check_output_queue(), enables tighter integration and gives us more tuning options via ethtool in the future. For now we continue to apply the same policy as the qdio layer: scan for completions if 32 TX buffers are in use, or after 1 sec. A re-scan is done after 10 sec, but only if no TX interrupt is pending. With scan_threshold = 0 we no longer get TX completion scans from within qdio_get_next_buffers(). So trigger these manually in qeth_poll() and in the RX path switch to the equivalent qdio_inspect_queue(). Signed-off-by: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
