While searching for possible refactor of napi_schedule_prep and __napi_schedule it was notice that the mtk eth driver disable the interrupt for rx and tx AFTER napi is scheduled. While this is a very hard to repro case it might happen to have situation where the interrupt is disabled and never enabled again as the napi completes and the interrupt is enabled before. This is caused by the fact that a napi driven by interrupt expect a logic with: 1. interrupt received. napi prepared -> interrupt disabled -> napi scheduled 2. napi triggered. ring cleared -> interrupt enabled -> wait for new interrupt To prevent this case, disable the interrupt BEFORE the napi is scheduled.

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.
