Subject: [PATCH net-next 04/16] ixgbe: Don't receive packets when the napi budget == 0

From: [email-masked] (Eric W. Biederman)
Date: Fri, 14 Mar 2014 18:00:41 -0700

Processing any incoming packets with a with a napi budget of 0
is incorrect driver behavior.

This matters as netpoll will shortly call drivers with a budget of 0
to avoid receive packet processing happening in hard irq context.
