    igb: remove ndo_poll_controller · 0542997e
    Eric Dumazet 提交于
    As diagnosed by Song Liu, ndo_poll_controller() can
    be very dangerous on loaded hosts, since the cpu
    calling ndo_poll_controller() might steal all NAPI
    contexts (for all RX/TX queues of the NIC). This capture
    can last for unlimited amount of time, since one
    cpu is generally not able to drain all the queues under load.
    
    igb uses NAPI for TX completions, so we better let core
    networking stack call the napi->poll() to avoid the capture.
