The driver's current logic will always free all the TX SKBs up to txr->tx_hw_cons within NAPI. In the next patches, we'll be adding logic to handle TX timestamp completion and we may need to hold some remaining TX SKBs if we don't have the timestamp completions yet. Modify __bnxt_poll_work_done() to clear each event bit separately to allow bnapi->tx_int() to decide whether to clear BNXT_TX_CMP_EVENT or not. bnapi->tx_int() will not clear BNXT_TX_CMP_EVENT if some TX SKBs are held waiting for TX timestamps. Note that legacy chips will never hold any SKBs this way. The SKB is always deferred to the PTP worker slow path to retrieve the timestamp from firmware. On the new P7 chips, the timestamp is returned by the hardware directly and we can retrieve it directly from NAPI.

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 reStructuredText 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.
