The writeback enable logic was incorrectly implemented (due to misunderstanding what the side effects of the implementation would be during polling). Fix this logic issue, while implementing a new feature allowing the user to control the writeback frequency using the knobs for controlling interrupt throttling that we already have. Basically if you leave adaptive interrupts enabled, the writeback frequency will be varied even if busy_polling or if napi-poll is in use. If the interrupt rates are set to a fixed value by ethtool -C and adaptive is off, the driver will allow the user-set interrupt rate to guide how frequently the hardware will complete descriptors to the driver. Effectively the user will get a control over the hardware efficiency, allowing the choice between immediate interrupts or delayed up to a maximum of the interrupt rate, even when interrupts are disabled during polling.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
