Subject: [PATCH net-next] amd-xgbe: schedule NAPI on Rx Buffer Unavailable to prevent RX stalls
Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2025 15:41:11 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251124101111.1268731-1-Raju.Rangoju@amd.com> (raw)

When Rx Buffer Unavailable (RBU) interrupt is asserted, the device can
stall under load and suffer prolonged receive starvation if polling is
not initiated. Treat RBU as a wakeup source and schedule the appropriate
NAPI instance (per-channel or global) to promptly recover from buffer
shortages and refill descriptors.
