From 82dc3c63c692b1e1d59378ecee948ac88e034aad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 5 Mar 2013 15:57:22 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] net: introduce NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT Some drivers use a too big NAPI poll weight. This patch adds a NAPI_POLL_WEIGHT default value and issues an error message if a driver attempts to use a bigger weight. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Eilon Greenstein Signed-off-by: David S.
