When the dim worker is scheduled, if it no longer needs to issue
commands, dim may not be able to return to the working state later.

For example, the following single queue scenario:
   1. The dim worker of rxq0 is scheduled, and the dim status is
      changed to DIM_APPLY_NEW_PROFILE;
   2. dim is disabled or parameters have not been modified;
   3. virtnet_rx_dim_work exits directly;

Then, even if net_dim is invoked again, it cannot work because the
state is not restored to DIM_START_MEASURE.

This sounds like a legitimate bug fix so it needs to be sent separately
to the net tree (subject tagged with [PATCH net]) and then you'll have
to wait until the following Thursday for the net tree to get merged
into net-next. At which point you can send the improvements.
(Without the wait there would be a conflict between the trees).


Yes, you are right, since this set is on top of the one DanJ is working on

(which I mentioned in the commit log and patchwork will warn about),

I merged the fix patch into this series. I'll wait for his set to be merged and push it again.

Thanks a lot!



Right now the series does not apply to net-next anyway.
