The lan743x driver, when under heavy traffic load, has been noticed to sometimes hang, or cause a kernel panic. Debugging reveals that the TX napi poll routine was returning the wrong value, 'weight'. Most other drivers return 0. And call napi_complete, instead of napi_complete_done. Additionally when creating the tx napi poll routine. Changed netif_napi_add, to netif_tx_napi_add. Updates for v3: changed 'fixes' tag to match defined format Updates for v2: use napi_complete, instead of napi_complete_done in lan743x_tx_napi_poll use netif_tx_napi_add, instead of netif_napi_add for registration of tx napi poll routine fixes: 23f0703c125b ("lan743x: Add main source files for new lan743x driver") Signed-off-by: Bryan Whitehead <Bryan.Whitehead@microchip.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.
