napi_disable() should take care of that.
It appears that if I call netif_stop_queue() *afer* calling
napi_disable(), I get a hang and/or TX timeout. Since emac_mac_down()
does this:
netif_stop_queue(netdev);
napi_disable(&adpt->rx_q.napi);
I cannot call just napi_disable() in emac_change_mtu(), because when I
then call emac_mac_down(), the first thing it does is call
netif_stop_queue(), and that's when I timeout/hang.
Unfortunately, I cannot even do this:
netif_stop_queue(netdev);
napi_disable(&adpt->rx_q.napi);
netif_stop_queue(netdev);
napi_disable(&adpt->rx_q.napi);
Even though I've already called netif_stop_queue(), calling it again
causes the timeout/hang.
Is this expected? I never understood why I needed to call
netif_stop_queue() before napi_disable(). I do see some drivers do not
call netif_stop_queue(). I even saw a driver that calls them in reverse
order, so I don't understand why that sequence breaks for me but not him.
