3.2.85-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Erez Shitrit <erezsh@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 8d59de8f7bb3db296331c665779c653b0c8d13ba upstream.
Currently there is a race between incoming traffic and
initialization flow. HW is able to receive the packets
after INIT_PORT is done and unicast steering is configured.
Before we set priv->port_up NAPI is not scheduled and
receive queues become full. Therefore we never get
new interrupts about the completions.
This issue could happen if running heavy traffic during
bringing port up.
The resolution is to schedule NAPI once port_up is set.
If receive queues were full this will process all cqes
and release them.
