Subject: [PATCH 2/3] net: ethernet: cortina: Count dropped frames as NAPI work
Date: Tue, 01 Sep 2026 19:04:56 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260901-gemini-ethernet-fixes-v1-2-ee6b09675876@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260901-gemini-ethernet-fixes-v1-0-ee6b09675876@kernel.org>

The RX loop only consumes budget when it successfully delivers a frame.
Error paths keep consuming descriptors without reducing the budget, so a
stream of bad frames can process the entire receive ring in one poll.

Move the budget accounting to a common end-of-frame path. This counts
each completed frame as NAPI work whether it was delivered or dropped,
matching the behavior of the vendor driver.

Fixes: 4d5ae32f5e1e ("net: ethernet: Add a driver for Gemini gigabit ethernet")
Assisted-by: LLM
