This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tsnep: Fix NAPI polling with budget 0 to the 6.5-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: tsnep-fix-napi-polling-with-budget-0.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.5 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 1d0ed83633b44224dd8f4e4a56676e079de92d79 Author: Gerhard Engleder <gerhard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Sep 15 23:01:26 2023 +0200 tsnep: Fix NAPI polling with budget 0 [ Upstream commit 46589db3817bd8b523701274885984b5a5dda7d1 ] According to the NAPI documentation networking/napi.rst, Rx specific APIs like page pool and XDP cannot be used at all when budget is 0. skb Tx processing should happen regardless of the budget. Stop NAPI polling after Tx processing and skip Rx processing if budget is 0. Signed-off-by: Gerhard Engleder <gerhard@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
