Jakub,

We hit this napi_enable() BUG_ON() crash three times this week. In two
of those times it appears that

	napi->state = netdev_priv(netdev)

i.e it contains ibmvnic_adapter* in our case.

	# Crash was on eth3

	crash> net |grep eth3
	c00000002e948000  eth3   10.1.194.173

	crash> net_device |grep SIZE
	SIZE: 2304

	crash> px 2304
	$1 = 0x900

	crash> ibmvnic_adapter c00000002e948900 |grep napi
	  napi = 0xc00000003b7dc000,
	  num_active_rx_napi = 8,
	  napi_enabled = false,

	crash> napi_struct 0xc00000003b7dc000 |grep state
	  state = 13835058056063650048,
	    state = 0 '\000',

	crash> px 13835058056063650048
	$2 = 0xc00000002e948900		#eth3 ibmvnic_adapter above

In the third case napi->state was 16 (i.e NAPI_STATE_SCHED was clear and
hence the bug in napi_enable()).

Let us know if any other fields are of interest. Do we have any clues on
when this started?
