Subject: [PATCH] e1000: Avoid that e1000_netpoll() triggers a kernel warning

From: Bart Van Assche <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2015 13:54:45 +0200

console_cont_flush(), which is called by console_unlock(), calls
call_console_drivers() and hence also the netconsole function
write_msg() with local interrupts disabled. This means that it is
not allowed to call disable_irq() from inside a netpoll callback
function. Hence eliminate the disable_irq() / enable_irq() pair
from the e1000 netpoll function. This patch avoids that the e1000
networking driver triggers the following complaint:

BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/irq/manage.c:104
