Subject: Re: [PATCH] forcedeth: Stay in NAPI as long as there's work
Date: Wed, 28 Apr 2010 11:25:28 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100428112528.01277670@nehalam> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100428111354.49a6ec1a@nehalam>

The following does the same thing without the extra overhead
of testing all the registers. It also handles the out of memory
case.

Compile tested only...
