What Dave Miller is saying is that it's ALWAYS a bug to delay completion of SKBs. The only thing you're doing with chipidea is delaying interrupt by up to 125us; which is still a bug from the point of view of the networking layer, but it's more difficult to perceive any problems because of the short time where interrupt is delayed. -- balbi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
