[PATCH net] doc: net: napi: Update documentation for napi_schedule_irqoff

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Since commit 8380c81d5c4f ("net: Treat __napi_schedule_irqoff() as
__napi_schedule() on PREEMPT_RT"), napi_schedule_irqoff will do the
right thing if IRQs are threaded. Therefore, there is no need to use
IRQF_NO_THREAD.
