The patch titled e1000: restore netif_poll_enable call but make sure IRQs are off has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was e1000-restore-netif_poll_enable-call-but-make-sure-irqs-are-off.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: e1000: restore netif_poll_enable call but make sure IRQs are off From: Herbert Xu <herbert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> This restores the previously removed netif_poll_enable call in e1000_open. It's needed on all but the first call to e1000_open for a NIC as e1000_close always calls netif_poll_disable. netif_poll_enable can only be called safely if no polls have been scheduled. This should be the case as long as we don't enter our IRQ handler. In order to guarantee this we explicitly disable IRQs as early as possible when we're probing the NIC.
