To handle netpoll properly, the driver must only handle TX packets during NAPI. Handling RX events cause warnings and errors in netpoll mode. The ndo_poll_controller() method should call napi_schedule() directly so that a NAPI weight of zero will be used during netpoll mode. The bnxt_en driver supports 2 ring modes: combined, and separate rx/tx. In separate rx/tx mode, the ndo_poll_controller() method will only process the tx rings. In combined mode, the rx and tx completion entries are mixed in the completion ring and we need to drop the rx entries and recycle the rx buffers. Add a function bnxt_force_rx_discard() to handle this in netpoll mode when we see rx entries in combined ring mode.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
