4.18-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Heiner Kallweit <hkallweit1@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 6b839b6cf9eada30b086effb51e5d6076bafc761 ] rtl_rx() and rtl_tx() are called only if the respective bits are set in the interrupt status register. Under high load NAPI may not be able to process all data (work_done == budget) and it will schedule subsequent calls to the poll callback. rtl_ack_events() however resets the bits in the interrupt status register, therefore subsequent calls to rtl8169_poll() won't call rtl_rx() and rtl_tx() - chip interrupts are still disabled. Fix this by calling rtl_rx() and rtl_tx() independent of the bits set in the interrupt status register. Both functions will detect if there's nothing to do for them.
