Yup. Tx interrupt mitigation like this is a really neat feature. It can make a huge improvement in performance. But the driver does need to implement a timer to fix the problem which you have described.
This reminds me how sick I am of drivers that don't define what the heck the bits mean in the registers and descriptor flags.
Something for the Janitors I guess. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
