From 63a5df9b95f06aed7226b3c5b5e864898c229506 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Bruce Rogers Date: Thu, 10 Feb 2011 11:03:31 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] virtio_net: Add schedule check to napi_enable call commit 3e9d08ec0a68f6faf718d5a7e050fe5ca0ba004f upstream. Under harsh testing conditions, including low memory, the guest would stop receiving packets. With this patch applied we no longer see any problems in the driver while performing these tests for extended periods of time. Make sure napi is scheduled subsequent to each napi_enable.
