commit 2d77bd61a2927be8f4e00d9478fe6996c47e8d45 upstream.
Under load, the RX side of the mscan driver can get stuck while TX still
works. Restarting the interface locks up the system. This behaviour
could be reproduced reliably on a MPC5121e based system.
The patch fixes the return value of the NAPI polling function (should be
the number of processed packets, not constant 1) and the condition under
which IRQs are enabled again after polling is finished.
With this patch, no more lockups were observed over a test period of ten
days.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
