When running the igc with XDP/ZC in busy polling mode with deferral of hard
interrupts, interrupts still happen from time to time. That is caused by
the igb task watchdog which triggers Rx interrupts periodically.
That mechanism has been introduced to overcome skb/memory allocation
failures [1]. So the Rx clean functions stop processing the Rx ring in case
of such failure. The task watchdog triggers Rx interrupts periodically in
the hope that memory became available in the mean time.
The current behavior is undesirable for real time applications, because the
driver induced Rx interrupts trigger also the softirq processing. However,
all real time packets should be processed by the application which uses the
busy polling method.
Therefore, only trigger the Rx interrupts in case of real allocation
failures. Introduce a new flag for signaling that condition.
Follow the same logic as in commit 8dcf2c2120 ("igc: Get rid of spurious
interrupts").

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
