[PATCH net] fbnic: Set napi irq value after calling netif_napi_add
Posted by Brett Creeley 2 months, 2 weeks ago
The driver calls netif_napi_set_irq() and then calls netif_napi_add(),
which calls netif_napi_add_weight(). At the end of
netif_napi_add_weight() is a call to netif_napi_set_irq(napi, -1), which
clears the previously set napi->irq value. Fix this by calling
netif_napi_set_irq() after calling netif_napi_add().

This was found when reviewing another patch and I have no way to test
this, but the fix seemed relatively straight forward.

I agree that irq vector is lost without this patch.

I agree with your analysis, but I'm not sure if this needs to be
backported to other kernels because:
  - It is not a device that is easily available (currently),
  - The bug is relatively minor

I'm not a maintainer so I'll let those folks decide if this should
be a net-next thing to reduce load on the stable folks.

In any case:
