mainlining shenanigans
In this driver's ->ndo_open() callback, it enables DMA interrupts,
starts the DMA channels, then requests interrupts with request_irq(),
and then finally enables napi.
If RX DMA interrupts are received before napi is enabled, no processing
is done because napi_schedule_prep() will return false. If the network
has a lot of broadcast/multicast traffic, then the RX ring could fill up
completely before napi is enabled. When this happens, no further RX
interrupts will be delivered, and the driver will fail to receive any
packets.
Fix this by only enabling DMA interrupts after all other initialization
is complete.

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.
