Scheduling the napi during the following periods would let it be ignored. And the events wouldn't be handled until next napi_schedule() is called.
1. after napi_disable and before napi_enable(). 2. after all actions of napi function is completed and before calling napi_complete().
If no next napi_schedule() is called, tx or rx would stop working.
In order to avoid these situations, the followings solutions are applied.
1. prevent start_xmit() from calling napi_schedule() during runtime suspend or after napi_disable(). 2. re-schedule the napi for tx if it is necessary. 3. check if any rx is finished or not after napi_enable().
