From fc7e2a57e8406469785131ee0ed72c9243d8b306 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mark Einon Date: Mon, 20 Feb 2012 22:33:24 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] staging: et131x: use netif_rx_ni() for packet receive netif_rx is meant to be called from interrupts because it doesn't wake up ksoftirqd. For calling from outside interrupts, netif_rx_ni exists. This stops the error "NOHZ: local_softirq_panding 08" that happens on some machines with NOHZ and plip --- it is caused by the fact that softirq is pending and ksoftirqd is sleeping.
