Tobias Waldekranz 7cdaa4cc4b net: ethernet: fec: prevent tx starvation under high rx load
In the ISR, we poll the event register for the queues in need of
service and then enter polled mode. After this point, the event
register will never be read again until we exit polled mode.

In a scenario where a UDP flow is routed back out through the same
interface, i.e. "router-on-a-stick" we'll typically only see an rx
queue event initially. Once we start to process the incoming flow
we'll be locked polled mode, but we'll never clean the tx rings since
that event is never caught.

Eventually the netdev watchdog will trip, causing all buffers to be
dropped and then the process starts over again.

Rework the NAPI poll to keep trying to consome the entire budget as
long as new events are coming in, making sure to service all rx/tx
queues, in priority order, on each pass.

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 Restructured Text 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.
