This series focuses on converting the existing implementation of tasklets to bottom half (BH) workqueues across various Ethernet drivers under drivers/net/ethernet/*. Impact: The conversion is expected to maintain or improve the performance of the affected drivers. It also improves the maintainability and readability of the driver code. Testing: - Conducted standard network throughput and latency benchmarks to ensure performance parity or improvement. - Ran kernel regression tests to verify that changes do not introduce new issues. I appreciate your review and feedback on this patch series. And additional tested would be really helpful.
