Raghu Vatsavayi ccdd0b4c35 liquidio: prevent rx queues from getting stalled
This commit has fix for RX traffic issues when we stress test the driver
with continuous ifconfig up/down under very high traffic conditions.

Reason for the issue is that, in existing liquidio_stop function NAPI is
disabled even before actual FW/HW interface is brought down via
send_rx_ctrl_cmd(lio, 0). Between time frame of NAPI disable and actual
interface down in firmware, firmware continuously enqueues rx traffic to
host. When interrupt happens for new packets, host irq handler fails in
scheduling NAPI as the NAPI is already disabled.

After "ifconfig <iface> up", Host re-enables NAPI but cannot schedule it
until it receives another Rx interrupt. Host never receives Rx interrupt as
it never cleared the Rx interrupt it received during interface down
operation. NIC Rx interrupt gets cleared only when Host processes queue and
clears the queue counts. Above anomaly leads to other issues like packet
overflow in FW/HW queues, backpressure.

Fix:
This commit fixes this issue by disabling NAPI only after informing
firmware to stop queueing packets to host via send_rx_ctrl_cmd(lio, 0).
send_rx_ctrl_cmd is not visible in the patch as it is already there in the
code. The DOWN command also waits for any pending packets to be processed
by NAPI so that the deadlock will not occur.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
