From bc9ad166e38ae1cdcb5323a8aa45dff834d68bfa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2014 18:05:13 -0700 Subject: net: introduce napi_schedule_irqoff() napi_schedule() can be called from any context and has to mask hard irqs. Add a variant that can only be called from hard interrupts handlers or when irqs are already masked. Many NIC drivers can use it from their hard IRQ handler instead of generic variant.
